Reconsidering Johannine Christianity

A Social Identity Approach

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book presents a full-scale application of social identity approach to the Johannine writings. It reconsiders a widely held scholarly assumption that the writings commonly taken to represent Johannine Christianity - the Gospel of John and the First, Second and Third Epistles of John - reflect the situation of an introverted early Christian group.
