Eleven essays introduce readers to how the Gospel of John used the Scripture. Preferring allusions and “echoes” alongside more explicit quotations, the Gospel of John weaves the Old Testament as an authoritative source concerning its story of Jesus. Contributors approach the Gospel through methods, including sociological and rhetorical analyses, memory theory, and more.The  implications of these essays lay the groundwork for exploring the use of Scripture in the other other New Testament texts.
