The Lord of the Gospel of John - Paul C. J. Riley - Bog

In the Gospel of John, one aspect of Jesus¿ divinity is his lordship. Paul C.J. Riley examines Jesus¿ lordship through the use of one Christological title, kyrios, a word which can be translated as Lord, master, owner or sir. Because kyrios is often used by characters in the narrative, Riley considers it from a narrative perspective. As a result, the first question he examines is how kyrios functions. In addition, due to textual variation for some occurrences of kyrios, the next question addressed is where kyrios is. From a firm narrative and textual foundation, the final question the author asks is what kyrios means. The answers to these three questions provide a comprehensive understanding of Jesus¿ divine lordship in the Gospel of John.
