Jesus as depicted in the Fourth Gospel is remarkably dissimilar to the Jesus found in the Synoptic Gospels. In this book, Ben Witherington III places the Gospel of John within its proper literary, historical, social, and theological contexts, especially those dealing with the wisdom traditions of Hellenistic Judaism. What emerges is a compelling argument that the Gospel of John has an agenda for mission in addition to concerns for discipleship and community life.

What makes the fourth Gospel so remarkably different from the others? "An agenda for mission," argues Witherington. Placing John's Gospel within its proper literary, historical, social, and theological contexts, he provides valuable insight into its purpose and shows how to apply this Gospel today. 411 pages, softcover from Westminster/John Knox.

Ben Witherington III is Amos Professor of New Testament for Doctoral Studies at Asbury Theological Seminary in Wilmore, Kentucky. He is also on the doctoral faculty at St. Andrews University in Scotland.
