Interpreting the Gospel and Letters of John ─ An Introduction

Ideal as a basic textbook on John's writings in the Bible

Accessible, comprehensive, and up-to-date, Interpreting the Gospel and Letters of John is an ideal text for students new to the discipline of biblical studies. Sherri Brown and Francis Moloney present a broad overview of the story of Christianity arising out of its Jewish foundations and proceed expertly to guide readers through the contents of the Gospel and Letters of John.

Maintaining that Johannine literature is best understood against the background of the Old Testament covenant meta-phor, Brown and Moloney focus on the central role of covenant in the narrative of John's Gospel and highlight the Evangelist's use of fulfillment language. Helpful sidebars, maps, questions for review, and further reading sections are placed throughout the text, making this volume perfect for classroom use.

Sherri Brown?is assistant professor of New Testament at Creighton University, Omaha, Nebraska, and the author of several works, includingGod's Promise: Covenant Relationship in John.

Francis J. Moloney, SDB,?is senior professorial fellow at Australian Catholic University. His many other books include commentaries on the Gospel of John and the Gospel of Mark.
