Urban C. von Wahlde is professor of New Testament at Loyola University Chicago. He is also the author of The Johannine Commandments: 1 John and the Struggle for the Johannine Tradition and The Earliest Version of John's Gospel: Recovering the Gospel of Signs.
"Von Wahlde has painstakingly reconstructed the composition of the Gospel of John, building on widely held views and offering methodological advances regarding the correlation of vocabulary, style, theology, and the history of the Johannine tradition in this quest. The result is very persuasive. Our understanding of the composition of the Gospel and the history of the Johannine community is coming into focus with greater and greater clarity. The various strands of evidence can be understood in relation to one another, and individual sections of the Gospel take on new meaning when read in light of von Wahlde's commentary. This magnificent achievement will shape the discussion of the Gospel of John, its theology, and its relationship to 1 John for the next generation." -- R. Alan Culpepper McAfee School of Theology, Mercer University
