Revelation in the Fourth Gospel: And Eight Johannine Essays

Critical Acclaim for this Book:





Gail O’Day’s work represents the turn to literary approaches to John and exhibits the fruitfulness of literary methods of study. Both historically minded and theologically rich, her scholarship should be required reading for the next generation of Johannine scholars. This collection puts the best of Gail’s work at our fingertips.

In the trajectory of Johannine Studies since the mid-1970s, Gail O’Day played a key role. Hers was a leading voice in bringing together biblical criticism and literary criticism in the field of studies. This angle of vision she brought to bear, in highly creative and sophisticated fashion, on the interpretation of the Gospel of John. Again and again, throughout her work, she showed the fusion at work between theological discourse and rhetorical expression in the fabric of the Gospel as well as the need to pay close attention to such fusion in its interpretation. This collection of her publications renders her work the recognition and gratitude that she so richly deserves.
