Beth M. Stovell, "Mapping Metaphorical Discourse in the Fourth Gospel" (Brill, 2021)

Summary

How does the metaphor of Jesus as king unify the message of the Gospel of John?

Tune in as we speak with Beth Stovell about her monograph, Mapping Metaphorical Discourse in the Fourth Gospel. Beth's study shows how John’s Gospel describes the just character of Jesus’ kingship, the subversion of power implicit in his crucified form of kingship, and the necessity of response to Jesus as king and his reign.

Beth Stovell is Professor of Old Testament at Ambrose University, and is working on commentaries on Ezekiel, the Minor Prophets, Hosea, and the Gospel of John.
