Interpreting the Gospel of John in Antioch and Alexandria – Paperback-Quality Guarantee

Description

by
Miriam Decock (Author)

Miriam DeCock analyzes four important early Christian treatments of the Gospel of John, including two commentaries by Origen and Cyril from the Alexandrian tradition as well as the homilies of John Chrysostom and the commentary of Theodore of Mopsuestia, which represent the Antiochian tradition. DeCock’s thorough analysis demonstrates that the Antiochenes find primarily moral examples and doctrinal teachings in John’s Gospel, whereas the Alexandrians find both these and teachings concerning the immediate situation within their own communities.
