"The Fourth Gospel has been known as the """"spiritual gospel"""" since the second century, but only recently have biblical scholars attempted to express the unique spirituality found in that sacred text. Surprisingly, no consensus has emerged even after a century of research. Thus, while John's Gospel is widely admired as a vibrant source of Christian piety, the distinct features of its spirituality remain unclear. Fr. Fiore addresses this problem from the fresh perspective of spiritual theology. Capitalizing on a century of Johannine biblical scholarship, he uses the interdisciplinary methods of spiritual theology to bring new data to the study of the Gospel and solutions to many lingering questions: How did ancient readers understand what scholars now refer to as the Gospel's spirituality? How does that ecclesial reading compare to the analysis of modern critical exegesis? What makes Johannine spirituality special among other forms of Christian piety? How does the question of the Gospel's authorship impact our understanding of its spirituality? Does the Gospel contain what we now call """"mysticism""""? In what ways is John's spirituality still relevant for Christians today? Students of Christian spirituality and Johannine exegesis alike will find here stimulating historical and theological analysis of the Gospel's spirituality."

Reviews for Spirituality in John's Gospel

"""Fr. Fiore has produced a highly impressive and authoritative account of spirituality in the Fourth Gospel. Grounded both in the Johannine text and in reception history, this study explores John's spiritual theology in a careful and coherent way, taking spirituality seriously as an academic discipline in its own right. The book gives valuable insight, not only into Johannine mysticism, but also into John's theology more generally, as well as his spirituality as it engages in dialogue with the Gospel through the tradition."" --Dorothy Lee, author of Hallowed in Truth and Love: Spirituality in the Johannine Literature ""Gabriel-Mary Fiore bravely wrestles with the issue of Johannine spirituality. In a systematic manner he addresses what is meant by spirituality, along with historical synopses of ancient and modern authors who have explored this theme. For scholars, pastors, and interested readers, this book offers an excellent overview of Johannine studies that explore what it is about this Gospel that invites contemplation and evokes an experience of God."" --Mary L.
