She is currently an Honorary Research Fellow in the Department of Theology and Religion at Durham.In A Journey Round John Wendy E. S. North considers a range of themes relevant to the interpretation of the Fourth Gospel. First the relationship between the Gospel and 1 John. North explores the value of the Epistle as a means of identifying traditional material the evangelist knew: on which basis she appeals to 1 John to account for the form of Jesus prayer in chapter 11. Second Johns Christology in which North looks to Johns cultural roots in monotheistic Judaism to understand his capacity to align Jesus with God. Third the crucial issue of śthe Jews in John where North clarifies the data by observing a narrative logic in Johns use of the expression. Fourth North identifies Johns śanticipated eschatology as a consolation strategy aimed at a readership struggling under lifethreatening circumstances in the absence of Jesus. Finally North looks at John and the Synoptics and demonstrates how evidence drawn from the Gospel itself can serve to indicate whether or not John composed directly on the basis of the Synoptic record. This collection draws together a number of groundbreaking studies from over thirty years of work on the Fourth Gospel presenting a coherent development of thought on this crucial Christian text.This volume of essays from Wendy E. S. North draws together her remarkable range of work on the Fourth Gospel covering issues of composition Christology and eschatology.PrefaceAcknowledgements Abbreviations1.
