Discover the Fourth Gospel's significance for historical Jesus studies. For years, the Gospel of John has been excluded from historical Jesus studies because of its distinctive theological and literary features.

Produktbeschreibung
Discover the Fourth Gospel's significance for historical Jesus studies. For years, the Gospel of John has been excluded from historical Jesus studies because of its distinctive theological and literary features. Yet while John's Gospel is often characterized as "the spiritual Gospel," it actually contains more archaeologically attested content and topographical details than all the other gospels combined. In this groundbreaking volume, renowned archaeologists discuss the Fourth Gospel's material features and show how those features enrich our understanding of the historical Jesus. More than two dozen contributors present evidence of the Fourth Gospel's historical reliability. Some of the contributors focus on Johannine descriptions of Jesus's ministry, using archaeological expertise to illuminate narrative details ranging from the stone jars in Cana to the fishing industry in Galilee. Other contributors focus on Johannine discussions of places and customs, bringing archaeological research to bear on narrative references to worship sites on Mt. Gerazim, the second pool of Siloam, crucifixion practices of imperial Rome, and more. Throughout the volume, research findings are documented with compelling images. Following discussions of specific archaeological data, the book concludes with a broad overview of the implications for historical Jesus studies. By challenging the longstanding critical bias against the Fourth Gospel's historical content, Archaeology, Jesus, and the Gospel of John lays the groundwork for a new quest for the historical Jesus--an inclusive quest that fully engages the Johannine account.
