Carlos Raúl Sosa Siliezar (PhD, University of Edinburgh, UK) is a lecturer at several universities in Guatemala City, Central America.
This is a commendable study, primarily because of the clear methodology [Sosa Siliezar] employs. * The Catholic Biblical Quarterly * Sosa Siliezar's work is admirably clear and methodologically consistent. He has brought a needed measure of order to the interpretation of this theme in John, and his work has the great strength of resisting the temptation to press an interpretation or thesis beyond the evidence that supports it ... [He] has provided us with a valuable standard ... and his method might profitably be adapted to other readings of symbolism and double meaning in John also. * Review of Biblical Literature * [Sosa Siliezar] offers a careful, even-handed evaluation of the evidence. * Religious Studies Review * This rewarding monograph is valuable not least for its habitual precision and restraint. * Biblica * A carefully written and well-argued study of the Fourth Gospel ... This is a valuable book and I commend it unreservedly. * Journal for the Study of the New Testament * Argues, rightly in my view, that the Gospel of John has made limited but strategic use of creation imagery in various contexts. * Journal of Theological Studies * [Sosa Siliezar’s] study is a significant contribution to studies of the GJohn, and should receive due attention. * Larry Hurtado blog *
