Christology is at the heart of the theology of the fourth gospel. Since Bultmann's impressive synthesis much has been written about its individual themes and motifs, its sources and history. The present study sets out to identify the basic structure of Johannine christology and to show how it underlies and integrates the various motifs and themes which surface in the transmitted text of the gospel. From the perspective gained through this analysis it re-examines the major issues of Johannine christology and their significance for understanding the gospel, both in its setting and in our own.

«...un detallado estudio de la estructura típica del Evangelio y de los elementos destacados que van apareciendo en los pasajes estudiados. Es la parte central y más amplia, destacando la novedad de cada unidad o grupo de capítulos. Un estudio que tiene en consideración los numerosos estudios que han ido apareciendo en los últimos quince años, no sólo en el mundo anglosajón...» (J. Gutiérrez, La ciudad de Dios)
