Reading Johannine Dramatic Irony through Ancient Dramatic Devices

Bag om Reading Johannine Dramatic Irony through Ancient Dramatic Devices

When studying irony in the Gospel of John, scholars have largely relied on modern literary theories and anachronistic interpretive tools. In this book, Dr. Tat Yan Lee pushes beyond contemporary interpretations to examine the literary context of the Gospel''s original audience. Utilizing Aristotle''s Poetics and drawing parallels between John''s Gospel and ancient Greek tragedy, Dr. Lee offers a fresh perspective on the role of dramatic irony within the text. His exploration of Aristotelian theory highlights the significance of emotion as an intended by-product of ancient drama and provides a critical method for establishing plausible early readings of the Gospel and its dramatic devices. Offering present-day readers a chance to encounter John''s Gospel through ancient eyes, this book holds valuable insight for Johannine scholars, classicists, students of literary theory, and all those desiring greater insight into the gospel and its impact.
