Description

From the patristic period until today, John's Gospel has served as a major source for the church's knowledge, doctrine, and worship of the triune God. Among all New Testament documents the Fourth Gospel provides not only the most raw material for the doctrine of the Trinity, but also the most highly developed patterns of reflection on this material particularly patterns that seek to account in some way for the distinct personhood and divinity of Father, Son and Spirit without compromising the unity of God.

While there have been recent, fine studies on aspects of John's doctrine of God, it is surprising that none summarizes and synthesizes what John has to say about God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. In order to fill this gap, K stenberger and Swain offer a fresh examination of John s trinitarian vision.

Part One situates John s trinitarian teaching within the context of Second Temple Jewish monotheism. Part Two examines the Gospel narrative in order to trace the characterization of God as Father, Son and Spirit, followed by a brief synthesis. Part Three deals more fully with major trinitarian themes in the Fourth Gospel, including its account of Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, and mission. A final chapter discusses the significance of John s Gospel for the church s doctrine of the Trinity, and a brief conclusion summarizes some practical implications.


For those who want to know what they ought to believe surely one of the functions (though not the only one) of constructive systematic theology out of God s self-disclosure in Scripture, this book will be a stimulating delight. In addition to its contribution to Christian understanding of God can there be any higher subject? it stimulates serious thought about how we move from careful study of biblical text to theological formulation
