One Widespread Solution To This Problem Is The So-Called Expulsion Hypothesis According To This View, The Fourth Gospel Was Addressed To A Jewish Group Of Believers In Christ That Had Been Expelled From The Synagogue Due To Their Faith The Anti-Jewish Elements Express Their Natural Resentment Of How They Had Been Treated; The Jewish Elements Of The Gospel, On The Other Hand, Reflect The Jewishness Of This Group And Also Soften The Force Of The Gospel's Anti-Jewish Comments In Cast Out Of The Covenant, This Book, Adele Reinhartz Presents A Detailed Critique Of The Expulsion Hypothesis On Literary And Historical Grounds She Argues That, Far From Softening The Gospel's Anti-Jewishness, The Gospel's Jewish Elements In Fact Contribute To It Focusing On The Gospel's Persuasive Language And Intentions, Reinhartz Shows That The Gospel's Anti-Jewishness Is Evident Not Only In The Gospel's Hostile Comments About The Jews But Also In Its Appropriation Of Torah, Temple, And Covenant That Were So Central To First-Century Jewish Identity Through Its Skillful Use Of Rhetoric, The Gospel Attempts To Convince Its Audience That God's Favor Had Turned Away From The Jews To The Gentiles; That There Is A Deep Rift Between The Synagogue And Those Who Confess Christ As Messiah; And That, In The Gospel's View, This Rift Was Initiated In Jesus' Own Lifetime The Fourth Gospel, Reinhartz Argues, Appropriates Jewishness At The Same Time As It Repudiates Jews In Doing So, It Also Promotes A Parting Of The Ways Between Those Who Believe That Jesus Is The Messiah, The Son Of God, And Those Who Do Not, That Is, The Jews This Rhetorical Program, She Suggests, May Have Been Used To Promote Outreach Or Even An Organized Mission To The Gentiles, Following In The Footsteps Of Paul And His Mid-First-Century Contemporaries Binding:Hardcover, HardcoverPublisher:LEXINGTON BOOKSPublication Date:2018-07-15Weight:1.2 lbsDimensions:0.9'' H x 9.1'' L x 6.2'' WNumber of Pages:248Language:English
