Interfigural Readings of the Gospel of John

"This volume of collected essays introduces the concept of interfigurality, the interrelationship between Johannine characters where they intersect the Synoptic Gospels and the Hebrew Bible.

This volume encourages transformative encounters between present readers and the ancient biblical texts"--
