The Gospel of John and Ancient Greek Philosophy: An Investigation of the Hellenistic Philosophical Background of Jesus's Long Speeches in the Gospel of John

该项目涉及目前关于约翰福音与古希腊哲学之间关系的讨论，并打算为约翰福音的解释开发一个新的模式。到目前为止，已经使用了各种比较方法，将第四福音书从其希腊化背景中分离出来，并且没有适当考虑其作者与早期罗马帝国哲学的建设性互动。然而，新项目整合了古代基督教哲学家的声音，他们与约翰的背景具有文化历史接近性，可以帮助现代释经者更好地解释希腊化宗教与哲学之间的相互依存关系。因此，这个项目重新解释了耶稣在第四福音中的长篇演讲，作为文化混杂的反映。因此，这项研究挑战希腊化的犹太人和基督教作家使用希腊化哲学的元素来传达宗教宣传的观点。

This project refers to the current discussion on the relationship between the John's Gospel and ancient Greek philosophy and intends to develop a new model for the interpretation of John's Gospel. So far, a variety of comparative methods have been used that separate the Fourth Gospel from its Hellenistic background and fail to properly consider its author's constructive interaction with philosophy in the early Roman empire. However, the new project integrates voices of ancient Christian philosophers, who have cultural-historical proximity to the context of John and can help the modern exegete to better interpret the interdependence between Hellenistic religion and philosophy. Therefore, this project reinterprets the long speeches of Jesus in the Fourth Gospel as reflections of cultural hybridity. Thus, this study challenges the opinion that Hellenistic Jewish and Christian authors use elements of Hellenistic philosophy to convey religious propaganda.
