Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes a particular extract from the Gospel of John in which Jesus refers to himself as the bread of life in a manner that the author argues was intentionally misunderstood by his listeners. This misapprehension led to the erroneous belief that his meaning was figurative rather than literal. The author presents numerous points of evidence to support his contention, not least of which is the disciples' subsequent reactions once Jesus doubles down on his true intention and emphasizes the profound significance of consuming his body and blood. This book is a thought-provoking addition to the field of biblical scholarship that will appeal to both academics and laypeople who are eager to gain a deeper understanding of biblical literature and the ongoing effects of its misinterpretation.
