Taking Away The Sin Of The World: Egō Eimi And The Day Of Atonement In John, Jackson Abhau
Taking Away The Sin Of The World: Egō Eimi And The Day Of Atonement In John, Jackson Abhau
Studia Antiqua
The presence of Jewish themes and allusions in the Gospel of John has received much scholarly attention in recent decades.

The piece wrestles with questions of personal agency, authority, knowledge and meaning, yet does not arrive at definitive answers.
