In A Journey Round John<\/em> Wendy E. S. North considers a range of themes relevant to the interpretation of the Fourth\u00a0Gospel. First, the relationship between the Gospel and 1 John. North explores the value of the Epistle as a means of identifying\u00a0traditional material the evangelist knew\u037e on which basis she appeals to 1 John to account for the form of Jesus\u2019 prayer in\u00a0chapter 11. Second, John\u2019s Christology in which North looks to John\u2019s cultural roots in monotheistic Judaism to\u00a0understand his capacity to align Jesus with God. Third, the crucial issue of \u2018the Jews\u2019 in John, where North clarifies the\u00a0data by observing a narrative logic in John\u2019s use of the expression. Fourth, North identifies John\u2019s \u2018anticipated\u2019\u00a0eschatology as a consolation strategy aimed at a readership struggling under life-threatening circumstances in the\u00a0absence of Jesus. Finally, North looks at John and the Synoptics, and demonstrates how evidence drawn from the\u00a0Gospel itself can serve to indicate whether or not John composed directly on the basis of the Synoptic record. This collection draws together a number of ground-breaking studies from over thirty years of work on the Fourth Gospel,\u00a0presenting a coherent development of thought on this crucial Christian text. Wendy E. S. North is a widely published Johannine scholar. She gained a PhD from Bangor University, UK, in 1997\u00a0and has taught at the Universities of Hull and Durham, UK.\u00a0She is currently an Honorary Research Fellow in the\u00a0Department of Theology and Religion at Durham University, UK.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
