The word from the beginning : the person and work of Jesus in the Gospel of John /

Schuchard, Bruce G.

The word from the beginning : the person and work of Jesus in the Gospel of John / Bruce G. Schuchard. - xii, 147 pages ; 24 cm

Minimal Level Cataloging Plus.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 121-126) and indexes.

John’s Gospel famously opens with a poetic prologue about the Word. However, after these initial verses, the theme of God’s Word incarnate seems to fade.

The silence is only apparent. In The Word from the Beginning, Bruce G. Schuchard reunites John’s prologue with the rest of his Gospel. What Jesus does in the Gospel embodies who Jesus is in the prologue. Jesus’s words and actions reveal and unfold his unique identity as the Word. Jesus is indeed God’s Word enfleshed.

This theological reading of John’s Gospel unifies Jesus’s identity, words, and work, opening up implications for Johannine Christology.
