| Summary: | Main description: 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. 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. Main description: 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. |
