Abstract:
"This revised edition of John Ashton's pioneering study of the Fourth Gospel answers two fundamental questions, the historical question of its origins and the exegetical question of its basic message, highlighting the gospel's debt to Jewish apocalyptic. It includes an extended introduction, taking account of recent scholarship, and two entirely new chapters."--Jacket.
