That You May Believe - by Quinn R Mosier & T Desmond Alexander & Robert W Yarbrough (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Throughout his career, professor Andreas J. Köstenberger has demonstrated a deep passion and commitment for both scholarly research and faithful living. In his eyes, the two are inseparable, and his books and teachings reflect the balancing and integrating of these two ideals. Nowhere does Köstenberger do this more than in his study of the book of John. The essays collected here both honor and reflect his influence as a scholar and teacher. They exegete, analyze, and examine the book of John and its recent scholarship. This diverse array of texts provides a foundation for a better understanding of John, so that like Köstenberger, we can grow in our comprehension, and in turn, grow in our faith.

Review Quotes

"This collection of excellent essays is a fitting tribute to a noted biblical scholar and is warmly recommended for all serious students of the Gospel according to John."--Brian J. Tabb "President and Professor of Biblical Studies, Bethlehem College and Seminary" (2/28/2025 12:00:00 AM)

"This volume is much more than a collection of essays in celebration of Andreas Köstenberger's prolific career in research and writing, particularly on the Gospel of John. It is a course in key issues in Johannine scholarship in its own right, written almost entirely by a cast of established scholars, some of them at the very top of their disciplines, who have specialized in, among other things, issues central to the Gospel of John. From up-to-date surveys of scholarship in certain areas, especially John's use of the Old Testament, to ground-breaking treatments of more specific topics, That You May Believe offers the reader valuable contributions on every issue it covers."--Craig L. Blomberg "Distinguished Professor Emeritus of New Testament, Denver Seminary" (2/19/2025 12:00:00 AM)

"Here leading evangelical scholars honor fellow evangelical scholar and noted Johannine specialist Andreas Köstenberger. But whereas many Festschriften are a hodgepodge of unrelated essays, that is not the case with this work. That You May Believe provides a splendid introduction to many issues in Johannine studies, including tracing the history and present state of Johannine scholarship and thoroughly engaging major sources for Johannine intertextuality."--Craig S. Keener "F. M. and Ada Thompson Professor of Biblical Studies, Asbury Theological Seminary" (1/31/2025 12:00:00 AM)

"In this generation of evangelical scholarship, Andreas Köstenberger ranks as one of our leading New Testament scholars. I'm delighted to see this tribute to his life and ministry, and I heartily commend this book compiled in his honor."--Jason K. Allen "President and Professor of Preaching and Pastoral Ministry, Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary" (1/31/2025 12:00:00 AM)
