Break open the message of the resurrection narrative in John's Gospel with renowned Scripture scholar Sandra Schneiders
Sandra Schneiders's groundbreaking examination of Johannine theology, spirituality and narrative artistry, that was first argued in her dissertation decades ago, is now available for the first time for a wider audience. Illuminating just how revolutionary Schneiders's scholarship remains today, The Johannine Resurrection Narrative seeks to enliven the Johannine Gospel and its desire to awaken understanding and nourish faith for scholars, and students of theology, Scripture, and spirituality. Through careful analysis of John 20, Schneiders focuses on the key questions raised by John's narrative--Where is the body? And Where can believers find Jesus today? Why is a resurrection narrative needed when, in John, everything is finished at the Cross?
In this significant study, Schneiders offers the Johannine Resurrection Narrative of John's Gospel as a rich resource for understanding and developing Christian spirituality. Bringing to her analysis a thorough examination of hermeneutics as well as critical exegesis, Schneiders's major new introduction further positions her argument that theopoetics are the defining character of the Johannine text, exemplified by the Resurrection narrative.
