Breaking New Ground in John

The volume features twenty-five essays that explore the Fourth Gospel through an interdisciplinary lens, incorporating contemporary insights from imagery, metaphor, narratology, and ethical theory. Organized into five thematic sections—Imagery, Parables, Characters, Christology, and Ethics—the contributions aim to challenge existing scholarly views and stimulate innovative research on the Gospel of John. Many essays are presented in print or English for the first time, reflecting Ruben Zimmermann's efforts to advance Johannine scholarship over the past two decades.
