Belief in the Word: Reading the Fourth Gospel, John 1–4 is unavailable, but you can change that!

Although studies have appeared on current narrative and reading approaches to John’s Gospel, no commentary is available that integrates their findings for students and scholars. Professor Moloney has met this need with a pioneering commentary that focuses on the text itself and its impact on the reader.

a Dutch reading of the Gospel of Mark by B. van Iersel has appeared in English.5 One of the pioneering studies in this area was the work of R. Alan Culpepper on the literary design of the Fourth Gospel,6 but this work is not a systematic reading of the text itself. After a section devoted to narrative theory, Culpepper tests the text of the Fourth Gospel as narrative in the light of the major elements of such theory (narrator, point of view, time, plot, characters, implicit commentary, implied reader).
