Reihe: Wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen zum Neuen Testament

The contributions in this volume from the Colloquium Ioanneum 2023 in Vienna present historical, literary, and theological issues related to John 7 and 8. These two chapters play a pivotal role in John: Jesus appears at the festival of Booths in Jerusalem and is rejected, fulfilling the rejection of Wisdom in some early Jewish wisdom literature. The themes discussed include the role of these two chapters in the structure and plot of the Gospel, the relevance of the festival of Booths, the characterization of Jesus and his opponents, ethical interpretation and the reception history of these chapters. The topics stand at the center of current debates about the interpretation of Johannine theology and ethics, and their role in scholarship, culture, and the church today.
