| Summary: | A thorough understanding of Johannine discipleship goes hand in hand with perspectives on the Johannine community as well as the narratological function of the Farewell Discourses. To elaborate on these perspectives compels the exegete to obtain relief information on discipleship from extra-textual data. The distinctive character of the Johannine disciple, from a viewpoint of terminology, is determined by belief, knowledge and love, to name but a few. Within a sociological framework the Johannine community is finding its identity through a view on discipleship, implemented by the 'new' commandment and the Paraclete as manifested in the beloved disciple. The Johannine narrative contributes to this ideological view of transparency, concentrating on two lines, the Jesus-ministry and the disciple- ministry. The result is identification between reader and discipleship which leads to definite selfdefinition of discipleship as the appropriation of realised eschatological salvation. |
