"The Gospel of John: Anti-Jewish or Radical Jewish Sectarianism?"
A four-hour workshop with Adele Reinhartz and Gabriele Boccaccini, chaired by Deborah Forger
San Diego, CA; SBL Meeting; Fri 22 Nov. 2019.
Introduced by:
- Paula Fredriksen, Boston University, Hebrew University
- Jörg Frey, University of Zurich
- Benjamin Reynolds, Tyndale College
- Meredith Warren, University of Sheffield
"How can a Gospel that is so Jewish also be so anti-Jewish?" (Adele Reinhartz). "The contemporary emphasis on ancient Jewish diversity allowed us to read the Gospel of John as a first-century Jewish text and John's Christology as a variant of first-century Jewish messianism" (Gabriele Boccaccini)
At the center of the conversation will be the problem whether the Gospel of John should be defined as a "Jewish" or "anti-Jewish" document (or both or neither).
The goal is to offer an opportunity of dialogue between Johannine specialists and Second Temple scholars.
