16. The Gospel of John, of course, requires careful study by any member of the clergy who
wants, when preaching from it, not to be trapped by late first-century polemics. Helpful in
approaching it are the following: (1) C. K. Barrett, Essays on John (Philadelphia: Westminster
Press, 1982); The Gospel According to St. John (London: S.P.C.K., 1955); The Gospel of John and
Judaism (Philadelphia: Fortress Press, 1975). (2) Raymond Edward Brown, The Community of
the Beloved Disciple (New York: Paulist Press, 1979); The Epistles of John, The Anchor Bible
(Garden City, N. Y.: Doubleday, 1982); The Gospel According to John, 2 vols., The Anchor Bible
(Garden City, N. Y.: Doubleday, 1966, 1970); (3) John T. Townsend, "The Gospel of John
and the Jews: The Story of a Religious Divorce," in AlanT. Davies, ed., AntiSemitism and the
Foundations of Christianity (New York: Paulist Press, 1979), pp. 72-97. (4) I have attempted to
survey recent scholarship on several important issues in the New Testament as they bear on
relations between Christians and Jews in my Has God Rejected His People? Anti-Judaism in the
Christian Church (Nashville: Abingdon, 1982), pp. 11-85.
17. See, e.g., Has God Rejected His People?, pp. 101-03.
