Sumario: | The question of who truly believes according to John’s Gospel can be unclear, complicated by characters who display contradictory evidence, both portrayed positively yet also reflecting imperfections. A solution to the confusion lies in attending to the overt narration of the Gospel, which creates a distinction between events within the story and the presentation to the reader. Positive expressions of faith within the story can be identified as ‘acceptable belief’, involving commitment to Jesus but with a limited understanding of his identity and mission. Only after the cross is ‘genuine belief’, (which includes greater understanding), possible. |
