요한복음 1-20장과 21장의 내러티브 상관관계에 관한 소고

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The major Johannine scholars take John 21 as the addition to John 1-20 as a appendix or a secondary epilogue. Under the rubric of historical criticism and narrative criticism, the role of John 21 is explored with the literary relationship as it relates to John 1-20. The output of such narrative relationship is considered as the dichotomy of the continuity(thesis) and discontinuity(antithesis) between John 1-20 and 21. The article suggests the possibility that the literary relationship between John 1-20 and 21 is marked neither by discontinuity nor mere continuity(or completion) but a dialectical narrative interplay in which clear distinctive interaction is combined and connected(synthesis). The original implied author wanted to end the Johannine story of Jesus at 20:30-31(discontinuity), but the another implied author wanted to continue the story of Johannine disciples in John 21(continuity beyond discontinuity). Thus, behind John 1-20 and John 21 lurks two implied authors communicating different points of view by the dialectical narrative interplay. By this process, the implied author of John 21 intended to write new perspectives and messages for a newly changed Christian community. The gospel of John stands in its final form; John 21 is not a simple appendix or epilogue, but a necessary ending of the gospel along with a literary unity and integrity through the narrative interplay.
