This volume explores different approaches to understanding Johannine characters and characterization through methodological and exegetical studies of specific characters in the Fourth Gospel. Divided into two sections, the book first considers method and theory, before providing exegetical character studies using a literary or reader-oriented method. It summarizes the state of the discussion, examines obstacles to arriving at a comprehensive theory of character in the Fourth Gospel, compares different approaches, and compiles the diverse methodologies into one comparative study. This volume is both a comprehensive study in narrative/reader-oriented theories, and a study in the application of those theories to characterization in the complex literary work that is the Gospel of John. -- Book Cover.

What does it mean to participate in the cruciform Lord Jesus Christ so that our life together becomes a living exegesis of the gospel? Michael Gorman has been tremendously influential in exploring this question within the New Testament, particularly in the letters of Paul, the Gospel of John, and the book of Revelation. His 2001 book Cruciformity: Paul's Narrative Spirituality of the Cross inspired a generation of scholars and was the first in a trilogy of New Testament theology devoted to exploring the role of the cross, participation in Christ, and becoming the gospel in mission. Here, an assemblage of some of the best and brightest current New Testament exegetes honor Gorman's work with contributions of their own, each of which further explores these three critical themes in various passages of the New Testament. Cruciform Scripture is more than a tribute to a giant of biblical scholarship. Its contributors (including N. T. Wright, Sylvia Keesmaat, and Richard Hays) are masters in their own right who offer incisive interpretations of essential themes of New Testament theology and the core concerns of Christian life in community. As they reason together in this volume, they amplify one another's voices as well as Gorman's, modeling a way that careful reflection on Paul's determination to "know nothing . . . except Jesus Christ and him crucified" can engender fruitful insights on the nature of discipleship.
