Publisher's Description
John's Gospel possesses a generous range of meanings and has had an enduring impact across the generations. This book explores that impact from a range of disciplines: from the exegetical and theological to the historical, spiritual, liturgical, musical, pastoral, political, and postcolonial. It encompasses contributions from a number of scholars and writers associated with Trinity College, University of Divinity, Melbourne, who all share a common love for this Gospel and a conviction of its continuing relevance. Australian biblical scholar Professor Francis J. Moloney SDB says in his foreword that various "receptions" of the Fourth Gospel are illuminatingly explored in this book, which demonstrates how the Gospel of John has played a critical role in shaping the theology and culture of the Christian tradition.

“John’s Gospel has inspired biblical scholarship, profound music, theology, penetrating literature, ecclesial and liturgical transformation, and new angles on contemporary existential crises. Here those multiple expert voices are heard, and the reader is invited into a conversation that promises to engage, enlighten, and enliven.”
“This is a truly interdisciplinary volume, with essays that are at once explicatory, creative, and practical. Exegesis grounds historical interpretations that illuminate modern readings in essays that will appeal to academics and clergy as well as a more general readership. The editors have brought practical theology alongside biblical and historical scholarship to show how the Gospel of John can critically engage contemporary cultural issues.”
