Klappentext zu „The Beginning of the Gospel According to Saint John “
The question of how to read the Bible is a perennial one. How do we interpret the God who claims to transcend our human categories? The difficulty is particularly acute in John's Gospel with its account of a man, Jesus, who claims to be God. Based on the principle that a text can present the radically transcendent only by disrupting itself, this book considers not just the sense of the Gospel, but also the breakdown of this sense. Focusing on its failure to humanly locate its central character and on the many misunderstandings which surround him, it presents a new approach to the Gospel's paradoxes. The result is a new definition of this sacred text based on a new hermeneutics.

Pressezitat
"A remarkable extended meditation on the Gospel of John, or, more exactly, on a number of key passages and themes of that Gospel...most successful in integrating the symbolic and philosophical approaches in a way reminiscent of the biblical expositions of that mediaeval master Eckhart." (Aidan Nichols, O.P. Cambridge)"The new method of interpretation introduced here draws on etymology and philosophy, but its main resource is simply the eyes of faith, without which we are all reading in the dark." (Stratford Caldecott)
