In this widely acclaimed study of John's Gospel, Mark W.G. Stibbe shows how the fourth evangelist uses all the tactics of a skilled storyteller to promote his distinctive Christology. Literary and historical methodologies are integrated by the author in his narrative criticism, and a new, holistic approach to the gospel literature is suggested thereby.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"Stibbe has...tackled an ambitious and important project, executing it with care, clarity, erudition, and in full awareness of the difficulties involved. By the questions that it both answers and stimulates, John as Storyteller usefully points up many of the problems that attend biblical hermenuetics generally, and Johannine interpretation in particular." Journal of the American Academy of Religion
"No one seriously engaged in Johannine studies today can fail to read this book without profit." Theology
"Compelling reading...[the book] will remain an important marker in any future research into this Gospel." Church Times
"This is a significant contribution to the study of the Fourth Gospel, the passion materials, and narrative criticism....[I]t is certainly right headed, illustrating how literary, social, historical, and theological concerns can be mutually informing and supportive." R. Alan Culpepper, Journal of Biblical Literature
"The significance of this work is Stibbe's argument for an integrated methodology for Gospel studies that is inclusive of both literary and historical-critical tools....Pastors will find Stibbe's readings on John 18-19 thought-provoking and helpful for sermon preparation....students will find the first section of the work helpful for analyzing literary and historical critical methodologies." allen Williams, The Theological Educator
