New Testaments; Christian leaders & leadership

Scholars have viewed Jesus's statement ""I have completed the work you called me to do"" as a proleptic reference to his work on the cross--that he speaks of it as fully accomplished, for it has been decreed so. Thus, the completed work looks forward to Jesus's cry of ""Tetelestai!"" from the cross when the work of redemption is done. But what if this is not the best reading of the completed work and the verbal use in John 17:4? What if reading it correctly will reveal something greater about the work of redemption, the glory of the Father, how to read the Fourth Gospel, and how to understand verbal use in the Greek New Testament?

Reviews for The Completed Work of Christ in John 17:4: An Interpretive Key for Reading the Fourth Gospel

""The majority of scholars understand the words of Jesus in John 17:4 to refer proleptically to his yet-to-be-realized cross-work finalized in John 19:28-30. Eric Redmond boldly reconsiders this verse in the light of important lexicographical data and recent linguistic developments, all of which suggest that the completed work to which Jesus here refers is the revelatory activity that occupied Christ's attention in the Book of Signs. The results are stimulating, challenging readers to better appreciate the Christological and soteriological significance of Christ's ministry prior to his passion. Highly recommended!"" --John K. Goodrich, Dean of Academics, Compass Bible Institute ""Skillfully researched and clearly written, Eric C. Redmond's The Completed Work of Christ in John 17:4 is a powerful work of exegesis. Through linguistic and literary analysis, he makes a persuasive case that the 'completed work' is Christ's revelation of the Father, a work distinct from the atonement. This book offers a vital framework for reading the Fourth Gospel."" --Daniel K. Eng, Associate Professor of New Testament, Western Seminary
