Alan Culpepper joins Douglas and Stan for a discussion on his influential career. The discussion reflects on his foray into literary criticism and the initial stages of narrative criticism as a method for studying the gospels.

Key Takeaways:

•        The Gospel of John is fascinating, intriguing, complicated, spiritually uplifting, and theologically profound.
•        Historical criticism is important, but should not be the only angle of vision for pursuing scholarship on the New Testament.
•        Merely using the text as a means for seeking to discover the story behind the text is not sufficient.
•        The use of story as a means for communicating is not reserved for the ancient world: it continues even today.
