In this volume Stanley Porter tackles a wide variety of important and often highly contentious topics within Johns Gospel as a means of defining and capturing the distinctive Johannine voice. Topics discussed include Johns Gospel in relation to competing Gospels, the public proclamation of Jesus in John, the sources of Johns Gospel, Johns prologue, the I Am sayings, the notion of truth, the Passover theme, and the ending of Johns Gospel. Each chapter, besides surveying representative research, puts forward new and insightful proposals regarding the topics concerned. Porter does not shy away from topics that have often perplexed Johannine scholars, and he confronts some of the viewpoints that have led to confusion in the field. Significantly, each chapter considers the Johannine voice as it represents, presents, and treats Jesus, grounding the book in the wider field of Gospel and New Testament investigation.
