Interpretation History of John: Review
Over the centuries, John’s Gospel has generated a truly astonishing amount of scholarship. In an admirable, ambitious project, the present two-volume work sets out to chronicle the history of interpreting John’s Gospel by providing a chronological listing of authors and works annotated by succinct, survey-style commentary.
The depth of Kealy’s coverage varies from interpreter to interpreter and there is little effort to provide a larger, integrative treatment throughout. Yet while criticisms could be lodged at many levels, those interested in the study of John’s Gospel owe Kealy a considerable debt of gratitude for his labor of love.
