Puthenkandathil, Eldho: 'Philos': A Designation for the Jesus-Disciple Relationship

An Exegetico-Theological Investigation of the Term in the Fourth Gospel. The Biblical understanding of «divine-human friendship» is developed by the Fourth Evangelist as a «master-disciple relationship» by employing the term «philos». This term emphasizes both divine initiative and human response as the constitutive elements of such a relationship. This book is an exegetico-theological study of «philos», which analyzes the implications of the term for the Johannine theology of friendship between Jesus and the believers.
