JESUS AND THE LADIES: CONSTRUCTING AND DECONSTRUCTING JOHANNINE MACHO-CHRISTOLOGY
Peter-Ben Smit
ABSTRACT
Taking as a starting point the way in which Jesus’ relationship with his mother is depicted in the Gospel of John, this paper explores the construction of a ‘macho-christology’ in this gospel, which, is deconstructed at the cross: Jesus the true (hu)man is there shown to be the true man as the crucified, which invites rereading John’s macho-christology as a whole from this point of view.
