Opis

This work provides a new Stoic reading of the Fourth Gospel with particular attention to its cosmology, epistemology, and ethics.

Recenzje

Above all, Engberg-Pedersen has presented a riveting take on John; it is manifestly interesting. The intellectual benefit of this is that old things are seen in news ways (or in old ways newly presented), an achievement bound to catalyze debate about and reevaluation of one of the most formative sacred texts of one of history's most influential religions.
