Summary

Professor Moody Smith holds that the sources, setting and theology of Johannine Christianity are closely related matters. He begins with an overview of the setting for Johannine Christianity and a survey of the different approaches that scholars have used to integrate these three aspects of the gospel. Three sections then follow with essays on sources, John and the synoptic gospels, and Johannine theology.
Because of Professor Smith's facility in presenting complicated material in a readable style, Johannine Christianity will not only be of great value to New Testament students and scholars but also accessible for anyone interested in the New Testament.
