Qumran and the Origins of Johannine Language and Symbolism
Overview
In this monograph, Elizabeth W. Mburu argues that The Rule of the Community—the defining document of the ancient Qumran community—provides linguistic clues to how the author of the fourth Gospel used truth terminology. Semantic similarities between Johannine literature and the Rule of the Community may indicate that the author of the fourth Gospel was familiar with the mode of thought represented in the language of Qumran literature, and that he mirrored that language in certain sections of his writing.
