Description
Is the Gospel of John a reliable source for the life of Jesus?
Is the Gospel of John a secondary gospel, dependent upon late and unreliable sources?
Or does John draw on early and reliable sources and therefore have equal authority and historical value as the other gospels?
Reappraising the fourth gospel in light of new scholar- ship, Stephen Smalley analyzes the tradition, history, structure, and theology of the Gospel of John, and of its relationship to other gospels. As a result, Smalley outlines new directions in gospel scholarship as he clarifies John's role as evangelist and his influence as interpreter on Christian tradition.
