{"product_id":"9783110221640","title":"Rhetoric and Theology: Figural Reading of John 9","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis monograph on John 9 makes extensive use of premodern Christian exegesis as a resource for New Testament studies. It draws on ancient Christian ways of reading Scripture in a \"more-than-literal” or \"figural” way to critique the modern trend to understand John’s Gospel as recounting the history of the evangelist’s community. This study also examines a variety of premodern interpretations of John 9 for insight into the chapter’s theological and rhetorical dimensions. Building upon the premoderns’ observations, it argues that John 9 resembles a mode of Greco-Roman rhetorical argumentation and expression to present Jesus as the Light of the World. This analysis illustrates the inseparability of form and content, rhetoric and theology, in the Fourth Gospel.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"De Gruyter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47182716764400,"sku":"9783110221640","price":133.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783110221640_p0.jpg?v=1763715030","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783110221640","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
