Publisher's Synopsis
Jesus On Trial The Unique presentation of Jesus in the Gospel of John If you think you have a grasp on the truths of the New Testament, it is time to take another look. Prepare yourself to receive a fresh perspective on the gospel of John as Dr. Eric Wallace expounds on the trial theme embedded in the Fourth Gospel. Dr Wallace traces the theme of trial throughout John examining the various witnesses that come forth to give testimony to the unique identity of Jesus as the Prophet, Messiah and Son of God. Wallace argues that the trial theme based on the legal constitution of Deuteronomy helps to bring a new understanding and insight to this gospel. Jesus on trial is a must-read for the bible scholar, bible college or seminary student. Pastors or laypersons looking for a more in-depth study of John will benefit from this study as well. The Author Eric M. Wallace, (PhD, Union Theological Seminary and Presbyterian School of Christian Education) is a Biblical scholar whose emphasis is in the New Testament in particular, Johannine studies. He has taught at Elmhurst College and North Park University in the Chicago metropolitan area. This monograph is taken from his dissertation "The Testimony of Moses: Pentatuechal Traditions and their Function in the Gospel of John."
