The Farewell Discourses in Practice

von John Vincent

96 Seiten, Taschenbuch

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Practice Interpretation takes the everyday social conditions of people as they are described in the Bible and looks at emerging issues that confront today's interpreters in daily life. This volume in the Practice Interpretation series deals with the Farewell Discourses of Jesus in the Gospel of John. The key element and dynamic in the Johannine practice reflections in this volume is that John's Gospel sometimes explicitly, often implicitly, sets forth a continuing Jesus-style practice by Jesus' followers, in the gospel time, in the longer term behaviour of early Christian communities, and in contemporary Christian disciples and communities today. Each contributor indicates this at work in very different contexts and happenings. The contributors are: Leslie Francis, David Blatherwick, Sarah Pullin, David McLoughlin, Ian Wallis, Nirmal Fernando, John Vincent and Alan Saxby.
