Jerome H. Neyrey 
An Ideology of Revolt [PDF ebook] 
John’s Christology in Social-Science Perspective

Behind the triumphant proclamation of Jesus as God in the Fourth Gospel stands a history of alienation, intense conflict, and crisis.
Jerome Neyrey unearths that history by showing how the Gospel’s Christology functions as a cipher for the Johannine community’s estrangement — and eventual revolt — from its roots in the synagogue.
In Part One, Neyrey offers a fresh, full exegesis of the controversies over Jesus’s eschatological and divine powers, which underlay the Gospel’s confession of Jesus as equal to God. Part Two deftly employs social-science modeling for a rigorous and enlightening reconstruction of the worldview of John’s community as it evolved through stages of controversy that propelled Christians into an exaltation of Christ and a radical devaluation of this world — an ideology of revolt.
A paradigm of interdisciplinary biblical research, An Ideology of Revolt discloses the irony and scandal of John’s community and of John’s Christ.
