But in this groundbreaking study, Hugo Méndez argues that the text is something else entirely: a falsely authored gospel that inspired a rich tradition of disguised writing. The author of John believed that Jesus was a divine being who came to earth to transform humans into divine beings. To encourage others to embrace this startling vision, that author composed a gospel filled with invented materialsone in which Jesus communicates the authors views through cryptic words and symbolic gestures left for readers to decipher. Finally, to make this revisionary portrait of Jesus plausible, the author concealed his identity, attributing his Gospel to an invented, shadowy disciple of Jesus gifted with supernatural insight and able to retrieve lost memories of Jesuss life. In these respects, the Gospel of John is similar to the so-called apocryphal gospels produced in the second century, including the Gospel of Thomas and the Gospel of Judas. The invention of this eyewitness was not a self-contained event, however. It was the genesis of a new and vibrant literary tradition. As the enigmatic disciple of the Gospel was folded into the same collective memory as Peter and Paul, he became a viable mask for other authors. In time, many such writersamong them, the authors of 1 John, 2 John, 3 John, Revelation, the Apocryphon of John, and the Epistula Apostolorumcoopted this figure, repurposing him for new agendas and weaving countless afterlives for him. The Gospel of John: A New History traces this arc, showing how a single act of disguised authorship ignited new literary trajectories and dramatically shaped twenty centuries of Christian culture....7210937The Gospel of John441464https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-gospel-of-john-9780197686133/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/7225007/image.jpg?v=638863821687730000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20259780197686133_W3siaWQiOiI1ZDU4MmJmOC1hNDhiLTQ1MjUtODM5ZC0wZWM2NmNmYTBiMDMiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjQ2NCwiZGlzY291bnQiOjIzLCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjQ0MSwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMDctMDlUMDA6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9780197686133_The biblical Gospel of John casts itself as a memoir of the disciple whom Jesus loved--a mysterious figure who allegedly watched Jesus die on the cross and stepped into his empty tomb.
