About the Authors
  • James McGrath offers a convincing explanation of how and why John arrived at a christological portrait of Jesus that is so different from that of other New Testament authors, and yet at the same time clearly has its roots in earlier tradition. McGrath suggests that as the author of the Fourth Gospel sought to defend his beliefs about Jesus against the objections brought by opponents, he developed and drew out further implications from the beliefs he inherited. The book studies this process using insights from the field of sociology.

    • Offers a fresh approach to the question of the origins of Johannine christology
    • Evaluates the subjects and issues dealt with in earlier works in the first chapter and then takes them a stage further
    • Uses insights from the field of sociology to study the development of Johannine christology

    Reviews & endorsements

    "...McGrath's volume is a welcome addition to Johannine studies. It provides a clear and reasonable context for the development of John's christology." Journal of Religion

    "This scholarly work is a fine study of Johannine christology.... thorough and fair..." The Bible Today

    "McGrath's book, a revision of his Ph.D. dissertation directed by Professor James D.G. Dunn, endeavors to make a contribution to our understanding of the Christology of the Gospel of John....he is to be commended for identifying and redressing the relative neglect of social-scientific tools in the study of this subject." The Catholic Biblical Quarterly
