Parsenios. 330 $aIn contrast to the common opinion that the Johannine Farewell Discourses represent solely the Jewish genre of the Testament, George Parsenios argues that features of the discourses are misread or missed completely apart from Greco-Roman literature. Evidence from classical drama, for instance, assists in reading Jesus' return to the Father as a dramatic exit and, further, accounts for the puzzling delay of Jesus at 14:31 without recourse to redaction theories. Consolation literature and the literary symposium emphasize Jesus' continuing and consoling presence, with particular attention to the Paraclete's role as doppelgänger. The thread that binds the various chapters into a coherent whole, therefore, is the utility of classical literature in clarifying Jesus' consoling presence even after his departure to the Father. 410 0$aSupplements to Novum Testamentum ;$vv. 117. 606 $aFarewells in the Bible 606 $aGreek literature, Hellenistic$xHistory and criticism 606 $aFarewells in literature 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aFarewells in the Bible. 615 0$aGreek literature, Hellenistic$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aFarewells in literature. 676 $a226.5/066 700 $aParsenios$b George L$0970517 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451164103321 996 $aDeparture and consolation$92205917 997 $aUNINA
