BEUTLER Johannes

Judaism and the Jews in the Gospel of John

The gospel of John has been described as at once the most Jewish and the most anti-Jewish of all the gospels.This dual aspect is reflected in the present book.The work takes its point of departure from the observation that the Jewish liturgical year has a determinatives role for the structure of the fourth gospel. The present study seeks to suggest the causes of this conflict and to propose ways of overcoming any anti -semitism that copuld be based on the fourth gospel.
