Contents:
Introduction -- Problem of incommensurability -- Social structures and religious aspirations -- "Poor" -- Transcending Johannine sectarianism -- The New Testament world -- Honour, public in nature -- Honour, Mediterranean and pivotal -- Honour, rooted in gender distinctions -- Honour, essentially agonistic -- Judaea and 'virtuoso religion' -- Religious actor -- Judaean social world -- Judaean "poor" -- Social approaches to the "poor" -- Social world of the ptōchoi -- John's social world -- Johannine sectarianism -- Johannine virtuosity.
Summary: Who were the 'poor' of the Gospel of John? Ling argues that they are best understood in the context of the ascetic, 'alternative' religious groups that flourished in first-century Judaea. In his view this Judaean focus rather than an early Christian 'sectarian' agenda accounts for the distinctiveness of John's text.
