John’s Gospel in New Perspective

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Well-known for his studies on the relationship of Luke-Acts and the Roman Empire, Cassidy here continues this line of research [examining] the Fourth Gospel as it consciously reflects knowledge of the Roman Empire, the cult of the Emperor, and the persecutions waged against the Christians. In this endeavor he utilizes John's particular Christological titles and the implicit or explicit indications of persecution. In this way, Cassidy illustrates a neglected aspect of the Fourth Gospel, and brings it more into relationship with the Apocalypse.”
