Book synopsis

Ethics is a neglected field of research in the Gospel and Letters of John. The series of essays in this book by some leading Johannine scholars aims at making a positive contribution to and even to stimulate the debate on the presence of ethical material in the Johannine literature. More familiar themes like the law or deeds in the Gospel are reconsidered in a new light, while the ethical role of the opponents or the ethical use of Scripture are explored resulting in new insights into the dynamics of ethics in the Gospel. The ethical nature of the Letters is also considered, focusing not only on the theological nature of ethics in the Letters, but also on the ethical impact of some rhetorical material in 1 John.The investigation is linked to the Radboud Ethical Research as well as to the Mainz Research Center "Ethik in Antike und Christentum" and provides another contribution to the general question on the "Contexts and Norms of Early Christian Ethics".§Contributors:Paul N.
