It is only by taking seriously these two dimensions (intercultural and subaltern) that christological articulations can be made intelligible, understandable, and relevant. \u003ci\u003eIntercultural Christology in John's Gospel\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eunravels the intercultural intersections and subaltern dimensions of John's Christology.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eJohn's Christology, crossing the boundaries of traditional Messianic categories of Judaism, even while echoing those traditions in an intercultural milieu, and creating a hybrid space of inter by blurring the categories of above and below, gives an impetus for developing such new expressions in any given subaltern context. Christological articulation in John has a multidimensional orientation: toward God, world, and life. Therefore, John's Christology could be termed a Christology with a planetary vision.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eJohn's Gospel articulates its Christology through an intercultural route from a subaltern negotiating space. The Johannine Messiah is a subaltern Messiah, and the Johannine community is a subaltern community. The evangelist is not the one who collaborated with the colonizers. Therefore, the text cannot be treated as a colonial document, as some of the postcolonial readers do. Rather the evangelist resists and disrupts, even while resonating with the surrounding linguistic and conceptual milieu. Therefore, a hermeneutical framework of intercultural resonance and subaltern subversive rhetoric is a key to unlock the Gospel. Such a hermeneutical approach is a viable option in any subaltern context.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fortress Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/19\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781506480695","brand":"Biju Chacko","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42183814021301,"sku":"9781506480695","price":24.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_414a43ff-7e9a-4692-9b58-8b06fea8b2df.jpg?v=1654571132","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/intercultural-christology-in-johns-gospel-a-subaltern-reading-from-india-9781506480695","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
