Implication

This article re-examines recognition scenes in the Fourth Gospel, suggesting new frameworks for interpretation.

Key Points

  • The study aims to address gaps in existing scholarship on anagnorisis in the Fourth Gospel by proposing a new theoretical framework.
  • Introduces a threefold theoretical framework combining narrative criticism, compositional models, and interpretive semiotics.
  • Applies the framework to analyze specific passages in John 1:19–34 and 20:1–10.
  • Examines textual variations as deliberate adaptations informed by theological and narrative contexts.
  • Demonstrates that textual variations from standard type scenes in Johannine texts are intentional adaptations.
  • Argues that Johannine anagnorisis represents a relational event rather than a simplistic recognition.
  • Highlights the mutual self-disclosure aspect between God and the interpreter.
