How does the phrase contribute? What role does it play in the portrayal of Jesus as the dominant character of the Gospel in Johannine irony? There is a greater interaction between different forms of saying than has generally been acknowledged, and Ball draws out a number of implications of his findings for other areas of Johannine study.Journal for the study of the New Testament.Supplement series ;124.Electronic books.226.5/06Ball David Mark1038892MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910461443203321I am' in John's Gospel2460746UNINA
