Revelation and Self-Perception in the Gospel of John
Seiten
Ole Jakob Filtvedt untersucht die Begegnungen Jesu mit einigen Schlüsselfiguren des Johannesevangeliums und fragt, ob es einen Zusammenhang gibt zwischen ihrer Erkenntnis Jesu und ihrer Selbsterkenntnis.
In this study, Ole Jakob Filtvedt engages with recent scholarly discussion on ancient notions of self and self-perception, applying these concepts to the encounters between Jesus and John the Baptist, Nicodemus, the Jews and Pharisees, Peter, and Pilate. The author demonstrates that these encounters involve a relationship between two sets of questions. The first set concerns revelation : Do the characters recognize who Jesus is and what he has to offer? The second concerns self-perception : Do the characters recognize what they lack and what they need? By exploring how these two sets of questions relate to each other, the study probes whether there is a connection in John between the degree to which characters recognize who Jesus is and the degree to which they recognize their own situation.
