John as storyteller

the long version

In this widely acclaimed study of John's Gospel, Mark W.G. Stibbe shows how the fourth evangelist uses all the tactics of a skilled storyteller to promote his distinctive Christology. Literary and historical methodologies are integrated by the author in his narrative criticism, and a new, holistic approach to the gospel literature is suggested thereby. This wide-ranging, well-written, and non-technical book reflects the current great interest in literary approaches to the fourth Gospel. - Publisher.
