Publisher's Synopsis
The theme of the New Exodus (NE) in John's Gospel has been largely unexplored in recent scholarship. Now, however, by careful intertextual exegesis of John 5-10, Paul Coxon has compellingly argued that not only is the NE key to interpreting the Fourth Gospel, but also to unlocking the mysteries of the Johannine ""puzzle"" itself. Anyone who is interested in searching the riches of this marvelous Gospel will want to explore the NE in John in these pages. ""The rediscovery of this vital theme brings to light rich seams of gospel truth that will make the heart of the preacher dance with joy as well as the mind of the academic gasp with wonder that such an obviously foundational theme to the gospel was ever lost. All who are interested in the Gospel of John will want to study this fresh and innovative work."" --Dr Tom Holland, Head of Biblical Research, Wales Evangelical School of Theology Paul Coxon is a postgraduate research supervisor for WEST.
