NT 645 - 1 The Gospel of John in Christian Theology

An examination of the initial reception of the Gospel of John and the memories of the author by ‘the School of John’ (J.B. Lightfoot) during the second century, bringing this work into dialogue with a close reading of the gospel as a ‘Paschal’ (Easter) Gospel and the reading of French Phenomenologist Michel Henry. By bringing together these readers of the Gospel of the Theologian (as he was known in antiquity), this course will consider the nature and discourse of Christian theology.
