'I am the light', 'I am the resurrection and the life' ... Such images from the Gospel of John and its language full of symbols and metaphors have shaped people's idea of Christ for millennia and made their mark on art and literature. This course will study the Johannine Corpus - John's Gospel and the three Epistles. We investigate the origins of the community which produced these texts, examine allegations of anti-Jewishness and Christian sectarianism and study the distinctive ideas of Christ and salvation within the literature.
