 Applying
a comprehensive theory of character to the Gospel of John, Cornelis Bennema
provides a fresh analysis of 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.” John’s broad array
of characters correspond to people and their choices in real life in any
culture and time. This book highlights how John’s Gospel seeks to challenge its
readers about where they stand in relation to Jesus.
