In this volume Robert Kysar chronicles the history of interpretation of the Fourth Gospel in the twentieth century. His study reveals four distinct critical approaches to understanding the Fourth Gospel—historical, theological, literary, and postmodernist readings. The use of these methods mirrors the history of biblical studies and influences the present state of scholarship.
Robert D. Kysar is Bandy Professor of Preaching and New Testament, Emeritus, Emory University.
... unfailingly insightful, honest, and compelling.

Read these chapters with great care. Not only will they offer you a comprehensive map of Johannine interpretation across the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. You also will delight in reading one of North America’s foremost Johannine exegetes as he grapples with that Gospel’s most critical issues, fortified by a lifetime of patient and disciplined study, a refreshing generosity of critical spirit, and the heart of a churchman.
~C. Clifton Black, Otto A. Piper Professor of Biblical Theology, Chairman of the Department of Biblical Studies, Princeton Theological Seminary Book Editor, Theology Today
