Die Deutung der Ostererfahrung in den Abschiedsreden des Johannesevangeliums
Volume 104 (2007) / Issue 2, pp. 117-141 (25)
In John, Easter is interpreted not only in chapter 20, but also in the two preceding farewell discourses. Whereas John 14:18–26 describes the »theological« relevance of the Easter experience for all believers without any differentiation, John 16:16–22 emphasizes its soteriological significance for Christian existence, an existence fraught with tension.
