Dialogue in the Book of Signs
Dialogue in the Book of Signs offers a polyvalent analysis
of John 1:19-12:50 at the micro-, meso-, and macro-levels. With the
help of several synchronic methods, including genre, narrative,
rhetorical, and dramatic studies, the author analyzes the content,
form, and function of John's dialogue. Thus, the divine-human
dialogue, which is interwoven within the text, provides a key to
the understanding of the dialogue between the narrator and the
reader. In this volume, after setting a background and a
theoretical framework, an extensive exploration of dialogue at the
exchange, episode, and narrative levels is offered. The connection
of dialogue with other literary aspects such as monologues, signs,
I AM sayings, and metaphors is also established. Thus, this study
provides a comprehensive understanding of dialogue in John 1-12.
