John, Jesus, and history. Volume 2, Aspects of historicity in the fourth gospel / edited by Paul N. Anderson, Felix Just, and Tom Thatcher.

Includes bibliographical references and indexes.

This volume draws together an international group of leading biblical scholars to consider one of the most controversial religious topics in the modern era: Is the Gospel of John--the most theological and distinctive among the four canonical Gospels--historical or not? If not, why does John alone among the Gospels claim eyewitness connections to Jesus? If so, why is so much of John's material unique to John? Using various methodologies and addressing key historical issues in John, these essays advance the critical inquiry into Gospel historiography and John's place within it, leading to consensus and convergences along the way. --From publisher's description.
