Departure and Consolation - The Johannine Farewell Discourses in Light of Greco-Roman Literature

This study employs classical literature to interpret new aspects of the Johannine Farewell Discourses that have been understood previously through recourse to Jewish literature. The puzzling pause of Jesus at 14: 31 and the function of the Paraclete receive particular attention.
