John as Storyteller: Narrative Criticism and the Fourth Gospel (Society for New Testament Studies Monograph Series, Series Number 73)

In this widely acclaimed study of John's Gospel, Mark W.G. Stibbe shows how the fourth evangelist uses all the tactics of a skilled storyteller to promote his distinctive Christology. Literary and historical methodologies are integrated by the author in his narrative criticism, and a new, holistic approach to the gospel literature is suggested thereby.
