The volume will be of great value to graduate students and scholars wishing to learn more of the richly symbolic world disclosed in John’s Gospel.
Horizons
Mary Coloe’s study constitutes a valuable contribution to the literature on the Fourth Gospel, both its historical context and its relevance for contemporary Christian life. Happily, its price makes it available not only to college and university libraries but also to the wider readership it deserves.
The Catholic Biblical Quarterly
Mary Coloe has provided a synthetically exegetical and robustly theological reading of John that benefits both the academy and the church.
Religious Studies Review
. . . an engaging, immensely readable and inspiring presentation of the gospel’s ecclesiology and spirituality and its implications for being Church today.
Catholic Library World
[T]he book is stimulating and deserves to be read.
Society of Biblical Literature
[T]his book is a richly theological and meditative text.
Australian eJournal of Theology
[T]his volume ensures that C.’s elaboration of the Christology and ecclesiology conveyed in John’s Temple and household symbolism will have an enduring impact on the study of the Fourth Gospel.
Theological Studies
Dwelling in the Household of God is well-written and solidly researched. Drawing equally from classical and contemporary Johannine scholarship the book not only successfully demonstrates the proposed Johannine ecclesiological theory, it would also serve well as a commentary on the selected pericopes. The contributions it makes to ecclesiology and Johannine studies are both unique and provocative. Coloe has done an immeasurable service through her ‘second reading’ and serves as an inspiration for others to do the same.
