Jones first gives an account of symbol: it points beyond itself, it defies clear and definitive perceptual expression, and it in some way embodies that which it represents. Then he examines the narrative sections of John that involve water, plotting the expanding meaning and function of the symbol as the narrative unfolds. The study concludes that water serves primarily as a symbol of the Spirit and therein symbolizes Jesus. The symbol of water calls a wide variety of readers to a decision and fun 410 0$aJournal for the study of the New Testament.$pSupplement series ;$v145. 606 $aWater in the Bible 606 $aSymbolism in the Bible 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWater in the Bible. 615 0$aSymbolism in the Bible. 676 $a226.5/064 700 $aJones$b Larry Paul$f1952-$01034473 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461333203321 996 $aThe symbol of water in the Gospel of John$92453631 997 $aUNINA
