Figures de l’étrangeté dans l’évangile de Jean : Etudes socio-historiques et littéraires, Baudouin Decharneux & Fabien Nobilio (Eds.)

The book is a collection of 13 papers discussing the "aspects of strangeness" observed in the Gospel of John. Scholars from various disciplines contributing to this work have been grouped into three clusters. There is strangeness observed with respect to the text itself, in the way it, as a literary composition, presents itself to the reader. There is the aspect related to the Jewish culture often treated in the Gospel as an alien tradition; and then the world often portrayed as alien to Jesus and his disciples.
