Description
Scholars have long puzzled over the distinctive themes and sequence of Johnâs narrative in contrast to the accounts in the Synoptic Gospels. Brian Neil Peterson now offers a remarkable explanation for some of the most unusual features of the Fourth Gospel, including the exalted language of the Johannine prologue; the focus upon Jesus as Word; the imagery of light and darkness, of glory and âtabernaclingâ; the roleâand rejectionâof prophecy; the early placement of Jesusâ âcleansingâ of the temple and his relation to it; the emphasis on âsignsâ confirming Jesusâ identity; and the prominence of Jesusâ âI Amâ sayings. Peterson finds important connections with motifs, themes, and even the macrostructure of the book of Ezekiel at just the points of Johnâs divergence from the synoptic narrative. His examination of events and sequence in the Fourth Gospel produces a novel understanding of John as steeped in the theology of Ezekielâand of the Johannine Christ as the fulfillment of the vision of Ezekiel.
