Der Tod Jesu im Johannesevangelium - Die erste Abschiedsrede als Schlüsseltext für den Passions- und Osterbericht

In the Gospel of John, Jesus' death is taken as a theme in discoursive and narrative texts. Starting with John 14,29 the study works from the premise that the first farewell speech (John 13,31-14,31) with its eschatology and pneumatology, but also with its announcement of Jesus' confrontation with the Devil, is the key text and commentary for the Passion and Easter story (John 18-20). To enhance the theological understanding of Jesus' death, both text corpora are examined in detail and in their interrelationships from both a synchronic and diachronic perspective.
