| Summary: | Scholarly debate about the background to John's Gospel, and the origin and nature of the putative community from which that document arose, has long been in progress, and shows little sign of subsiding. Dr Richey's monograph is a valuable contribution to this discussion, and deserves special recognition., The writer notes that, following a generation of studies preoccupied with the Hellenistic and philosophical settings of the Fourth Gospel, recent Johannine scholarship has seen a pleasing renewal of interest in its Jewish and Palestinian roots. |
