| Summary: | Biographical note: Daniel Rathnakara Sadananda is Professor in New Testament,Department of Theological Studies by Extension at the Karnataka Theological College, Mangalore, India; Convener of the Liturgical Commission of the Church of South India, and Member/Consultant of the International bilateral dialogue commission of the World Alliance of Reformed Churches (WARC) and the Roman Catholic Church. Eine anregende Untersuchung der theologischen Sprache der johanneischen Gemeinde. Durch die Interpretation des vierten Evangeliums werden die Implikationen von 'Theo-logie' im Kampf der johanneischen Gemeinde um Legitimität und Identität deutlich. Johannine Exegesis of God is a stimulating study of the explicit and implicit theological language of the Johannine community. It exegetically explores crucial questions concerning the Fourth Evangelist's language used to characterize God. It makes a sojourn into the relationship between Johannine Christology and Theology. It examines the dialogue dynamics of a theological conversation between those who do not share the same theological affirmations, and enumerates how the Johannine community derives benefit, becomes enriched and learns inclusiveness through its dialogue/conflict with its pluralistic environment. In approaching and interpreting the Gospel narrative, the implications of 'Theo-logy' in the Johannine community's struggle for legitimacy, identity and existence become clear. The Theology of the Johannine community shows a creative dialect with its sociological context, and its experiential theologising makes its theological language authentic, clear and precise. |
