Johannine Literature

This course is designed to introduce students to the Johannine corpus (esp. Gospel and 1st Letter of John), with particular emphasis on its theological richness, distinctive literary style, and ongoing significance within the Catholic faith tradition. Key themes, including creation, discipleship, and rebirth, will be explored via a close reading of crucial passages, such as the Prologue, the Wedding at Cana, and the Interaction with Nicodemus. Engaging both contemporary biblical scholarship and insights from patristic and rabbinic commentaries, the course will guide students into the spiritual depths of Johannine literature, approached both as Sacred Scripture and as a source for spiritual growth.
