This book is an exploration of three distinct cultural and religious backgrounds against which scholars have proposed that the Gospel and Letters of John are to be read and understood.1 As will be seen in whatfollows,there are features within the Gospel and/or Letters of John that do in fact suggest that they were in uenced either by Gnosticism, Docetism or one of the variant forms of Judaism. However, in each case, while some of the evidence suggests a particular background, it is equally evident that not all of the evidence suggests the same background.
