歷久常新的生命故事－約翰福音人物研究

Released: 基道, 2006

Dr. Tsang FIRST Chinese book! Already a 2007 Hong Kong Association of Christian Publishers Ltd. Golden Book Award Bronze Medal book! Character studies in the past have either been purely devotional without intellectual basis or purely academic without any application. This book walks the middle of the road by deriving messages from the way John describes each character, thus creating proper applications that are respectful of John's intention. The approach draws together some of the fresh approaches in linking characterization, rhetoric and narratology. It creates a very viable and systematic option of understanding John's sophisticated yet simple writing. This method is also useful in studying other Old and New Testament characters. Coauthor and translator Nancy Ou, who is a former top student of Dr. Tsang, pays tribute to John's view of women by writing a special section on women.
