Abstract:
This article challenges the historical existence of the ‘Johannine community’ – a hypothesized group of ancient churches sharing a distinctive theological outlook. Scholars posit such a community to explain the similarities of John to 1, 2 and 3 John as well as the epistles’ witness to a network of churches. Against this view, this article calls attention to evidence of literary contact between the four texts and the presence of dubious authorial claims in each. Taken together, these features cast John, 1 John, 2 John and 3 John as unreliable bases for historical reconstruction, whose implied audiences and situations are probably fabrications. The article proceeds to develop a new history of the Johannine texts. Those texts represent a chain of literary forgeries, in which authors of different extractions cast and recast a single invented character – an eyewitness to Jesus’ life – as the mouthpiece of different theological viewpoints.

Abstract:
Abstract Though the Gospel and Letters of John are widely understood as textual embodiments of an insular, “low church” community resistant to leadership structures, the later episcopal ecclesiology of Ignatius of Antioch is actually compatible with Johannine theology. Ignatius envisions the office of bishop as deriving from participatory reciprocity, an ecclesial dynamic demonstrated in the fourth evangelist’s narrative portraits of the disciples collectively and individually of Peter and the Beloved Disciple. After a reconsideration of the supposed tension between these two Gospel characters, the article will briefly reassess standard interpretations of another pair of antagonists—Diotrephes and John the Elder—whose tension is regularly attributed to Johannine anti-institutionalism. Even if the traditions behind the Gospel and Epistles of John had promoted an egalitarianism disinclined toward hierarchical leadership structures, the Johannine themes of reciprocity and participation may have contributed to the episcopal models of church orders that became established in 2nd century Christianity and beyond.

Abstract:
In the history of interpretation of Rev the expression έν πνεύματι, as used in 1. 10; 4. 2; 17. 3; and 21. 10, has been accepted so categorically as a signal of a unique state of personal visionary consciousness that other alternative meanings have been left relatively unexplored. The purpose of this paper is to inquire whether this expression is meant to describe an actual condition of ecstasy experienced by the author either previous to or during his writing activity, or whether έν πνεύματι should be seen as a different kind of component within the complex of symbolism shared by the author and his original readers.

This article proposes to interpret the appearance of the risen Jesus to the community of the disciples on Easter evening in terms of a Johannine theology and spirituality and as integral to the Johannine resurrection narrative as a whole. The scene is a narrative exploration of Johannine ecclesiology, that is, the establishment of the New Covenant with the New Israel and the raising of the New Temple, the body of Jesus, in it midst.

Full text
Abstract:
This dissertation explores the potential for utilizing Jurgen Habermas’ Theory of Communicative Action (TCA) as a hermeneutical method in biblical studies—in this case—Johannine agency and mission. The thesis is developed by means of TCA and four “contextual anchor points.” These components of critical and literary theory are used in a sequential argument to examine the thesis: The Johannine community was portrayed by John as divine communicative action to the world. After a brief introduction, chapter two discusses TCA, differentiating its relevant aspects from those unsuitable. An examination of the intertextual interface between John and his readership is performed in chapter three. Chapter four analyzes John’s call for unity in the face of cosmic brokenness and division over Jesus. Though John portrays a closed κόσμος, opposed to its creator, he demonstrates openness, showing interest in gathering exiles. Unity is for the sake of the world (13:35; 17:21, 23). Chapter four discusses the possibility that the AD 70 loss of the temple was John’s motivation for communicative action to his fellow “Jews.” Chapter five examines re-creation. Humanity separated from its creator was incapable of communicative reason. Jesus therefore served as God’s communicative act and Tatwort (deed-word, sign) to set it free. Chapter six concerns the mediatorial role of the παράκλητος. Central to John’s eschatology was the continued presence of Messiah through the Spirit. The παράκλητος was the communicative glue of the Johannine community, mediating communicative action to the world. Chapter seven concludes the study, demonstrating the community was a provocateur of life and judgment, gathering those who responded to communicative action and relinquishing others to judgment. The community’s oneness served as a Tatwort (deed-word) to the κόσμος. Their words and deed-words served as divine communicative action to re-create the world.

Thomas, John Christopher. "Footwashing in John 13 and the Johannine community." Thesis, University of Sheffield, 1990. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/3505/.

Full text
Abstract:
This dissertation examines John 13: 1-20, the pericope which describes Jesus washing the feet of his disciples. For a variety of reasons, there is no scholarly consensus concerning the meaning of this passage. In addition, very little reflection has been devoted to the place religious footwashing may have held in the Johannine community. This dissertation reexamines the fundamental issues raised by the passage and investigates the likelihood that footwashing was a community rite. Chapter one gives an overview of the prominent interpretations of John 13: 1-20 in the history of interpretation. This chapter also presents an elaboration of the dissertation's purpose, together with a preview of and justification for the methodology employed, which includes text-critical, background-historical, literary-exegetical, and historical-reconstructive components. In view of the decisive bearing on interpretation, the textual problem found in John 13: 10 receives considerable attention in chapter two. Here a decision is made in favor of the inclusion of the longer reading, because of superior external evidence and internal probability. In chapter three a survey of the practice of footwashing in Jewish and Graeco-Roman antiquity uncovers first-century attitudes to footwashing, which in turn leads to a more informed interpretation of footwashing's significance in John 13. The survey reveals that footwashing functioned as an act of hospitality, an expression of love, a sign of servitude, and a sign of preparation generally. Chapter four is devoted to a literary and exegetical analysis of the text of John 13: 1-20. This investigation indicates the pericope's literary context within the Fourth Gospel, as the first episode in both the "Book of Glory" (John 13-21) and the farewell materials (John 13-17). The role of the disciples in the preceding narrative (John 1-12) is also explored. An exegetical study follows, which seeks to interpret the text of John 13: 1-20 as it now stands in the Fourth Gospel. The analysis finds that the footwashing of John 13 is best understood as a sign for the forgiveness of the disciples' post-conversion sin. The analysis concludes with reflection scholarly discussion about the literary unity of the footwashing pericope. The evidence which makes likely that the Johannine community engaged in footwashing as a religious rite is explored in chapter five. This examination utilizes information from the implied readers in the Fourth Gospel, from actual readers of the Fourth Gospel in the early church, and from the practice of footwashing in early Christianity. An examination of similar categories of evidence suggests that footwashing signified the forgiveness of post-conversion sin for the Johannine community. The final section of the dissertation is devoted to a set of conclusions and suggestions for future research.

Esta tese tem como objetivo demonstrar que o conflito existente na comunidade joanina e presente no texto é uma estratégia literária do autor para construir identidade e fortalecer a fé dos seus leitores. Para isso escolhi uma perícope (Jo 8,31-59) onde verifico e comprovo essa dinâmica. O texto é produto literário, tem lógica: início, fim, coesão. É também produto relacional, responde a uma lógica redacional. O autor é o protagonista do texto e nele revela sua teologia. Busco entender sua vida e tudo dele para saber do seu texto. O texto é reflexo de uma realidade nas formas de expressão que é redigido. Há muitos conflitos no texto. Para entender o conflito devo olhar a partir de sua complexidade literária. Do conflito à revelação da verdade que liberta da incredulidade, do medo, da insegurança, da ideologia que escraviza, do mal que impede acolher Jesus, o Messias e Filho de Deus.(AU)

This research aims to investigate the Kingdom of God and the world under the bias of the Johannine community from Jo 18:36 exegesis. The objective is to demonstrate that, from the discourse of Jesus on his kingdom, recorded in John 18:36, the Johannine community is a heterotopic construction both in relation to incipient rabbinic Judaism as to the Roman Empire in first century. For thus, the study was divided into three chapters. The first chapter is an introduction to the Fourth Gospel, with emphasis on the Johannine community history and its Christology. The second chapter is an exploratory journey to the cosmos and the basileia from John 18:36. In the third chapter, the heterotopic aspects of the Johannine community are analyzed in relation to the world, based on the theoretical framework of Foucault. In this way, it can be shown that the Kingdom of God promotes heterotopias over time and societies, making it clear, the achievement of a critical space in relation to its world in the Johannine community, that is, a space of decisions and resignifications, capable of breaking socio-religious paradigms and change existing power relations.
Esta pesquisa se propõe a investigar o Reino de Deus e o mundo sob o viés da comunidade joanina a partir da exegese de Jo 18,36. Objetiva-se demonstrar que, a partir do discurso de Jesus sobre o seu Reino, registrado em Jo 18,36, a comunidade joanina é uma construção heterotópica tanto em relação ao incipiente judaísmo rabínico quanto ao Império Romano do século I. Para tanto, o estudo foi dividido em três capítulos. O primeiro capítulo é uma introdução ao Quarto Evangelho, com ênfase na história da comunidade joanina e sua cristologia. O segundo é uma jornada onde explora-se o cosmos e a basileia a partir de Jo 18,36. No terceiro, os aspectos heterotópicos da comunidade joanina são analisados em relação ao mundo, com base no referencial teórico de Foucault. Nesse percurso, é possível demonstrar que o Reino de Deus promove heterotopias ao longo dos tempos e das sociedades, explicitando, na comunidade joanina, a concretização de um espaço crítico em relação ao seu mundo, ou seja, um espaço de decisões e ressignificações, capaz de romper com paradigmas sócio-religiosos e alterar as relações de poder existentes.

A presente dissertação objetiva demonstrar as causas do conflito da comunidade joanina na segunda metade do século I, bem como revelar as estratégias de releitura da história de Jesus a partir do prisma do autor do QE para combater os inimigos da comunidade, assegurar-lhes a fé, fortalecer os perseguidos e duvidosos e formar uma cristologia solidificada em um pensamento soteriológico quanto a pessoa de Jesus como Messias. Para tanto pretende-se analisar a pluralidade sociopolítica e religiosa da Palestina no século I, demonstrando como o meio influenciou a escolha do autor do QE ao redigir um texto de forma a fazer uma releitura da vida de Jesus em defesa da fé de sua comunidade. Também serão estudadas as vozes em conflito dentro do texto e as vozes discordantes que cercam a perícope, buscando entendê-las a partir do texto do QE, pois este é o elemento mais palpável de que dispomos para o estudo dos conflitos e motivos que geraram esse evangelho. Para melhor expor e entender o argumento de defesa do autor que representa a comunidade joanina, será desenvolvido um estudo sobre o uso dos verbos pe,mpw e avposte,llw no texto do QE, especialmente no capítulo 7, com o intuito de mostrar como o autor entendia este Jesus Messias e como isto moldou sua teologia.

Abstract:
Chapter 9, interpreted in terms of its macro-micro structure, fits into the overall literary and theological framework of the Book of Signs. The controversy between Jesus and the Jewish leaders depicted in chapters 7-10 is taken up by Chapter 9 in a particular manner. This study employs the socio-rhetorical perspective to critically investigate the notion of discipleship. It differs from previous studies as they were undertaken from the historical, socio-scientific and narrative perspectives, and Robbins' sociorhetorical methodology is applied to the Chapter 9 in order to dissect the notion of discipleship as a theological problem. In Chapter 9, the blind man emerges as the paradigm of the disciple as he exemplifies the principle of John 8.12. The `Jews', concerned with their need both for self-definition and the survival of Judaism, attempt to contain the growth of Christianity. The conflict is conceived as a `conflict between darkness and light' and the healed man emerges as a hero of the community. His triumph over darkness contrasts him with the Pharisees who misguidedly follow the way of darkness and reject God's self-revelation. To summarize, by applying for the first time a multidimensional and comprehensive approach to John 9, three important characteristics of discipleship in the Fourth Gospel emerge: (1) it is not just simple enthusiasm and zeal, but rather a firm commitment, and strong and courageous determination to bear witness based upon an experience of the divine. Disciples are required to maintain their readiness for struggles, even death, for the sake of their faith; (2) discipleship is conceived as redefining the believer's covenant relationship with God which takes place through Jesus' identity and work. Therefore, the notion of `disciples of Moses' is no longer defensible; (3) discipleship is nothing less than a `discipleship into light' since it implies a duty to plead everywhere and always the cause of the Light in the sphere of darkness and in the world dominated by many kinds of ideologies (religious, cultural, political, etc.). The disciple must be prepared to be marginalized, not only by the dominant society, but also by his/her own family and familiar world.
