Craig Koester joins Douglas and Stan for a discussion of his career as a Johannine Scholar. The discussion centers on symbolism and symbolic language before turning to some reflections on Raymond Brown, with whom Craig studied for his doctoral work.
Key Takeaways:
- In the midst of Johannine ambiguity around a character like Nicodemus, comes piercing clarity with respect to Divine Love.
- Small groups can benefit from the opportunity John 3 presents to think, nuance, and discuss what this life with Jesus entails.
- Reading the Gospel of John wholly in light of traumatic separation from Judaism doesn't account for the accounts of Jews supporting Jesus and his followers.
- Ray Brown was a caring dude!!
