Applying a comprehensive theory of character to the Gospel of John, Cornelis Bennema provides a fresh analysis of both the characters and their responses to Jesus. While the majority of scholars view most Johannine characters as flat, Bennema demonstrates that many are complex, developing, and round. Johns broad array of characters and their responses to Jesus correspond to people and their choices in real life in any culture and time. This book highlights how Johns Gospel seeks to challenge its readers, past and present, about where they stand in relation to Jesus.
