The Gospel of John and Judaism
註釋Recent decades have seen a strong reiteration of the Jewish background and origin of the Fourth Gospel; but what exactly is the relationship, and with what sort of Judaism? Professor Barett reviews and tests the findings of eminent scholars on the road to his own solution. He argues that the years after AD 70 saw the virtual end of Jewish apocalyptic and an increased penetration of Judaism by Gnostic concepts. The same tendencies were at work in a Christianity which was by no means always distinct from Judaism. so that Christianity, Judaism, and Gnosis existed alongside one another and intermingled. John is both Jewish and anti-Jewish, combining Gnosis with anti-Gnosticism, but the antitheses of the gospel are the deliberate product of the author's thought.
