| Summary: | Johannine theology is quite clear and stringent in its conceptuality. This is rooted in the Christocentrism which is characteristic for the Johannine theology as a whole: Jesus Christ is the one and only "subject matter" which lies in the center of this thinking. All other topics of theology - such as soteriology, eschatology or pneumatology - are unfolded on the basis of Christology and gain their decisive profile from here. Most fundamental for Johannine Christology is the statement that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, who in the same way and with the same seriousness deserves to be called "God" as the Father. This is the basis for the claim that his death was the saving self-surrender of the Son of God as the true paschal lamb. The salvation, which is enacted in the crucified, is appropriated to the individual through faith in Jesus Christ. This faith is God's work and has its foundation in divine predestination. Johannine eschatology is unique in the New Testament in its strong emphasis on the present reality of salvation: The believer participates in eternal salvation already now in an irreversible and unsurpassable manner; even death cannot threaten and abolish communion with Christ. The gospel of John conceives the Holy Spirit, who completes the salvific work of Christ by giving faith, as a divine person distinct from Father and Son. Thus it is absolutely appropriate to call the Johannine discourse about God trinitarian. |
