The Death of Jesus and the Politics of Place in the Gospel of John

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

Foreword

“The scholarly conversation on the significance of Jesus's passion in the Fourth Gospel had, until recently, focused mostly on the historical, literary, and theological aspects of this narrative. Few studies had discussed its political and spatial aspects. The present study by Peter Ajer takes these less-travelled roads with a political reading of the passion narrative in John that is also sensitive to spatial questions.”
