Summary:

"Miriam DeCock analyses four important early Christian treatments of the Gospel of John, including two commentaries by Origen and Cyril from the Alexandrian tradition as well as the homilies of John Chrysostom and the commentary of Theodore of Mopsuestia, which represent Antiochian traditions. DeCock's thorough analysis demonstrates that the Antiochenes find primarily moral examples and doctrinal teachings in John's Gospel, whereas the Alexandrians find both these and teachings concerning the immediate situation within their own communities"-- Provided by publisher.
