| Summary: | The aim of this article is to emphasize that John's gospel narrative should be read as a coherent witnessing story about the protagonist Jesus. According to the new and useful paradigm, the reader's response criticism, the characterization of Jesus in John's story should be understood from the Johannine point of view and plot. The Johannine Jesus' emotional responses are for example noticeably different from those ascribed to him by the other gospel narratives. One of the questions to be answered is what the reason could be for the protagonist Jesus' 'professional' distance and aloofness in John's story. Whatever the answer, the Johannine Jesus still challenges the modern reader to come to a decisive response. |
