Examines John's Gospel in light of the critical framework of Northrop Frye and applies this literary theory of archetypes to the biblical text.
Brian Larsen is Associate Professor of English at Simpson University, USA.
[Larsen] successfully integrates a wide range of sources and ideas
to enhance reading of the Gospel of John, and the recognition of
various characters according to type. Larsen’s interdisciplinary
approach proves that profound insight is found in the overlap
between specializations.
*Reading Religion*
The archetypal approach to literature is a necessary lens for
anyone who reads and interprets literary texts, including ones in
the Bible … As someone who never abandoned the archteypal approach
to literary analysis, my heart leaped when I became aware of Brian
Larsen’s application of that approach to the Gospel of John.
