This thouroghly revised and enlarged edition documents the main developments in the field of Johannine studies in recent years. It provides an authoritative and up to date collection of the modern classic essays on John from Bultmann onwards, reflecting the considerable diversity of opinion and approach taken by scholars to John's Gospel. Alongside the traditional approaches of source, form, tradition and redaction criticism, newer disciplines emerging in the biblical field (such as narrative criticism, reader response criticism, feminist criticism, structuralism) are represented. An introduction by the editor sets each essay in its scholarly and historical context, and surveys other significant studies in the field.
