Description

The volume brings together papers from the seminar "Johannine Literature" of the Society of New Testament Studies, offering a broad overview of current scholarship after the decline of the Semeia Source hypothesis. The contributors explore central issues of Johannine exegesis through detailed case studies and broader theological reflections. Several essays focus on specific semeia narratives - including the notable example of John 21 - and analyze the literary and theological function of the term "semeia". They address overarching questions such as the interplay of signs and faith or unbelief, the relationship between signs and works, and the role of semeia within the narrative structure and theological framework of the Gospel. Special attention is paid to interpretive practices, particularly Scriptural exegesis, as employed within the Johannine corpus. Furthermore, a concluding study on the interpretation of the Cana sign in the homilies of John Chrysostom offers a patristic reception-historical perspective.
The contributors to this volume reflect the diversity of methodological approaches in current Johannine research and provide new impetus for ongoing scholarly engagement with the Gospel's theology, literary form, and historical reception.
