D02. The Gospel According to John

Harold Attridge, Yale Divinity School
9:00-11:30 AM, June 7-11
$325

The Fourth Gospel engages its readers in an encounter with the Word made flesh, but that encounter is mediated through words.  This course will focus on how those words work, through visual images, ironic dialogue, and the transformation of traditional literary forms.  The theological program of the gospel served the needs of a community of followers of Jesus that struggled with its relationship to its Jewish past and with its developing understanding of the significance of Christ.
