Die Präexistenz Jesu im Johannesevangelium : Struktur und Theologie eines johanneischen Motivs (Beihefte zur Zeitschrift für die neutestamentliche Wissenschaft 212) (2016. XIV, 421 S. 230 mm)

The pre-existence of Jesus is a striking feature of the Gospel According to St. John. The study first defines the linguistic features of pre-existence and then offers a detailed interpretation of the seven times it recurs. These are deliberately structured to occur in a remarkable connection to the narrative drama of Jesus' death and resurrection. In the "hour," pre-existence reaches its apex as existence before the creation of the world.
