Reviews

  • 'The contributors to this volume boldly and, in varying measure, successfully demonstrate not just the potential but even the necessity of attending to the media culture(s) in which the Johannine writings first found expression and reception. The issues raised by this volume may focus on the FG and related texts, but they apply more broadly to early Christian and Second-Temple Jewish texts in general. The focus on the Johannine literature gives this collection a coherence and concreteness that clarifies and demonstrates the possibilities of media research. However, the value of this collection for NT and biblical scholarship is in no way limited to students of the FG and its cousins.'-Biblical Theology Bulletin

  • ...the volume as a whole represents a significant contribution to conversations surrounding the Fourth Gospel in relation to the first-century media culture.

    Holly E. Hearon, Christian Theological Seminary, Biblical Interpretation
