Abstract

[This chapter contends that the Fourth Gospel presents Jesus as ontologically equal but functionally subordinate to God the Father. According to John, Jesus shares the divine nature with God the Father while remaining a distinct person from God the Father. The relational, though not ontological, unity between Father and Son is extended by Jesus to all who pledge their allegiance to him and his Kingdom movement. I conclude by explaining the value of my theses for stimulating Johannine scholars, in an interdisciplinary vein, to consider how the application of philosophical categories regarding being, role, and unity might shed new light on the Fourth Gospel.]
