New Currents through John brings into focus the dramatic changes in method that have taken place in Johannine studies in the past fifty years. Written in light of John A. T. Robinson's analysis of the "New Look" in the Johannine scholarship of fifty years ago, each essay in this volume engages a current issue in contemporary research. Contributions from a diversity of voices and perspectives reflect the increasing globalization of theological dialogue. Highlighting the work of emerging scholars against the backdrop of traditional perspectives, this volume also forecasts trends in Johannine scholarship for the next several decades. The contributors are Armand Barus, Jaime Clark-Soles, Carsten Claussen, Mary L. Coloe, R. Alan Culpepper, Brian D. Johnson, Matthew Kraus, Francisco Lozada Jr., Beth M. Sheppard, Yak-hwee Tan, and Tom Thatcher.

Rezensionen / Stimmen
'In the midst of dramatic and radical change in biblical studies, with this splendid collection of essays Thatcher and Lozada have done us an immeasurable service. Each article offers invaluable insights and clarifications of the "new look" in Johannine studies. As a result of this volume, readers will find their perspectives on the Gospel of John broadened and their appreciation for the global scholarly community deepened.'
Robert Kysar, Bandy Professor Emeritus of Preaching and New Testament, Candler School of Theology, Emory University.
'For this book, ten emerging Johannine scholars were given the same assignment: using John A.T. Robinson's 1957 essay "The New Look on the Fourth Gospel" as their starting point, they were to chart the "New Look" that has developed in the intervening half-century and to make an educated guess at what the coming years might hold for the study of the Gospel of John. A final essay by Alan Culpepper reflects upon their endeavours and places it in the context of the field as a whole. The volume testifies to the diversity of interests and, increasingly, the plurality of voices that add depth and richness to the field of Johannine studies. This is serious and engaging scholarship that documents the fascination that this Gospel still exerts, even after two millennia of discussion and debate. Required reading for all who are interested in the Fourth Gospel and in the multiple interpretations that it calls forth.'
Adele Reinhartz, University of Ottawa.
