In order to demonstrate the relevance of John?s ethics, Shin argues that the development of discipleship in John?s Gospel should be understood as moral progress, which was a well-known moral concept in the ancient Mediterranean world. Having drawn an ethical model from the writings of Plutarch, this study aims to identify the undergirding ethical dynamic that shapes John?s moral structure by bringing out the implicit ethical elements that are embedded throughout John?s narratives, and thus suggests a way to read the whole Gospel ethically and appreciatively of its literary characteristics. 410 0$aBiblical Interpretation Series$v168. 606 $aEthics in the Bible 615 0$aEthics in the Bible. 676 $a226.506 700 $aSookgoo Shin$01562422 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910793105403321 996 $aEthics in the Gospel of John$93830018 997 $aUNINA
