Description:... Studies on John and Gender: A Decade of Scholarship gathers together fifteen of Andreas J. Köstenberger's essays from 1991 to 2000 on two major topics, John's Gospel and gender roles in the church. Part 1 «Studies on John» features an introduction to John's Gospel, a chapter chronicling early doubts of the Fourth Gospel's apostolic authorship, and a comparison of the anointing pericopae in John and the Synoptics as well as treatments of Jesus as rabbi, his «signs, » the «greater works» of the believer, and the two Johannine verbs for sending. Missiological insights from John's Gospel conclude part 1. Part 2 «Studies on Gender» provides discussions of the alleged apostolic origins of priestly celibacy, the mystery of Christ and the church, a critique of hermeneutical fallacies, a survey of 1 Tim 2:9-15 and specialized studies of 1 Tim 2:12 and 15, and an essay on women in the Pauline mission.
