| book description |

In this new analysis of the Gospel of John, Kari Syreeni argues that the gospel is a heavily reworked edition of an earlier Johannine work, and that the original did not include Jesusâ€™ passion. Syreeni theorizes that the original gospel ended at Chapter 12, with the notion of Jesusâ€™ disappearance from the world, and that the passion narrative was incorporated by a later editor freely using the existing gospels of Mark and Matthew. Syreeni suggests that the letters of John â€” written after the predecessor gospels but before the final edition â€” reveal a schism in the Johannine community that was caused by the majority factionâ€™s acceptance of Jesusâ€™ death and resurrection, as it was then recorded in the new gospel. By exploring the gospelâ€™s different means of legitimizing the passion story, such as the creation of the â€˜Beloved Discipleâ€™ to witness Jesusâ€™ passion, and the foreshadowing of the resurrection of Jesus in the miracle of Lazarus, Syreeni provides a bold and provocative case for a new understanding of John.
