Lamb Of God. The Baptist's Testimony Of Jesus As A Sacrificial Offering

Bachelor Thesis from the year 2017 in the subject Theology - Biblical Theology, course: THEOLOGY, language: English, abstract: With a scholarly historical critical method of biblical exegesis, this work places John the Baptist in a historical perspective of his own times and then explore his example and meaning for Christian spirituality today. Not just the content of his testimony but he is an epitome of effective witnessing to emulate. Hence, the movement of this work will proceed from scripture to history to theology and to spirituality. We shall reach the goals of our research through a step by step presentation, beginning with a study of the background and composition of the Gospel of John. We shall also do a close analysis of scriptural themes portraying lamb imageries. Though our scope, i.e. Jn 1:29,36, involves a literary and critical analysis of scripture in context, we shall employ the principle of interpreting scripture by scripture, while observing the integrity of each scripture. At the end, we hope to arrive at a deepening of our faith through personal reflections on the outcome of our analysis.
