Brian Neil Peterson now offers a remarkable explanation for some of the most unusual features of the Fourth Gospel, including the exalted language of the Johannine prologue; the focus upon Jesus as Word; the imagery of light and darkness, of glory and "tabernacling"; the role -- and rejection -- of prophecy; the early placement of Jesus' "cleansing" of the temple and his relation to it; the emphasis on "signs" confirming Jesus' identity; and the prominence of Jesus' "I Am" sayings. Peterson finds important connections with motifs, themes, and even the macrostructure of the book of Ezekiel at just the points of John's divergence from the synoptic narrative. His examination of events and sequence in the Fourth Gospel produces a novel understanding of John as steeped in the theology of Ezekiel -- and of the Johannine Christ as the fulfillment of the vision of Ezekiel.00aBible.pJohnxCriticism, interpretation, etc.00aBible.pEzekielxInfluence.00aBible.pJohnxRelation to Ezekiel.00aBible.pEzekielxRelation to John.
