Mensch, James R.
The Beginning of the Gospel According to Saint John

Philosophical reflections.

Based on the principle that a text can present the radically transcendent only by disrupting itself, this book considers not just the sense of the Gospel, but also the breakdown of this sense. Focusing on its failure to humanly locate its central character and on the many misunderstandings which surround him, it presents a new approach to the Gospel's paradoxes. The result is a new definition of this sacred text based on a new hermeneutics. 219 Seiten, gebunden (American University Studies. Series V: Philosophy; Vol. 121/Peter Lang Verlag 1992) Mängelexemplar
