The Gospel of John by Hugo Méndez Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description The biblical Gospel of John casts itself as a memoir of "--a mysterious figure who allegedly watched Jesus die on the cross and stepped into his empty tomb. But in this groundbreaking study, Hugo Méndez argues that the text is something else entirely: a falsely authored gospel that inspired a rich tradition of disguised author of John believed that Jesus was a divine being whocame to earth to transform humans into divine beings. To encourage others to embrace this startling vision, that author composed a gospel filled with invented materialsDLone in which Jesus communicates the author's viewsthrough cryptic words and symbolic gestures left for readers to decipher. Finally, to make this revisionary portrait of Jesus plausible, the author concealed his identity, attributing his Gospel to an invented, shadowy disciple of Jesus gifted with supernatural insight and able to retrieve lost memories of Jesus's life. In these respects, the Gospel of John is similar to the so-called apocryphal gospels produced in the second century, including the Gospel of Thomas and theGospel of invention of this eyewitness was not a self-contained event, however. It was the genesis of a new and vibrant literary tradition. As the enigmatic disciple of the Gospel wasfolded into the same collective memory as Peter and Paul, he became a viable mask for other authors. In time, many such writersDLamong them, the authors of 1 John, 2 John, 3 John, Revelation, the Apocryphon of John, and the Epistula ApostolorumDLcoopted this figure, repurposing him for new agendas and weaving countless afterlives for him. The Gospel of John: A New History traces this arc, showing how a single act of disguised authorship ignited new literarytrajectories and dramatically shaped twenty centuries of Christian culture.
