The Hour of Justification in the Fourth Gospel

Stephen C. Amador zeigt in dieser Untersuchung, wie Johannes die Frage des gerechten Gerichts zum zentralen Thema seines Evangeliums erhebt. Sein Ziel ist es, Urteile gegen Jesus rückgängig zu machen. Johannes macht kreativen Gebrauch von Prophezeiungen in Jesaja und borgt reichlich von synoptischen Passionswochen- und Gerichtsnarrativen. Der Verfasser zeigt, wie Johannes Jesus als den gerechten König etabliert, der vor dem himmlischen Rat gerechtfertigt wird und somit alle rechtfertigt, die an ihn glauben.
