The Lord of the Gospel of John: Narrative Theory, Textual Criticism, and the Semantics of Kyrios

Paul C.J. Riley

In the Gospel of John, one aspect of Jesus’ divinity is his lordship. Paul C.J. Riley examines Jesus’ lordship through the use of one Christological title, kyrios, a word which can be translated as Lord, master, owner or sir. Because kyrios is often used by characters in the narrative, Riley considers it from a narrative perspective. As a result, the first question he examines is how kyrios functions. In addition, due to textual variation for some occurrences of kyrios, the next question addressed is where kyrios is. From a firm narrative and textual foundation, the final question the author asks is what kyrios means. The answers to these three questions provide a comprehensive understanding of Jesus’ divine lordship in the Gospel of John.
