Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the influence of the Gospel of John on Early Christian art, particularly in the catacombs of Rome. The author compares themes in paintings within the catacombs to relevant passages in the Gospel of John and argues that these catacomb paintings were symbolic expressions of the Gospel's teachings. By examining recurring themes, the author posits that the Gospel of John was widely influential and accepted as authoritative within the early Christian community, indicating it was written before the mid-second century. This aligns with the current trend in literary criticism, which is less concerned with questions of authorship and more with the historical context and acceptance of religious texts. Ultimately, this book provides valuable insights into the relationship between the Gospel of John and early Christian thought and artistic expression.
