Produktbeschreibung
Nearly all metaphors in the Gospel according to John relate to ancient family imagery. Thus, the disciples are "born of the Father; the Father "provides them with bread and drink (water); He "educates them and "protects them and a "dwelling is prepared for them, and so on.

The theory is based on two of the best-known metaphors in the Fourth Gospel: "I am the Good Shepherd, and "I am the True Vine. Subsequently, all other metaphors are analysed according to this theory.
