text: Oh my! Concepts I NEVER heard before during my undergraduate degree in religious studies from a secular university! Or my graduate degree in theological studies for that matter!
  
  The "world behind the text"...yes, of course...Raymond Brown's Johannine community theory that Christ's words are really just made up lines from upset Christians in the late 1st century AD who were mad at the Jewish communities expelling them from the synagogues for following Jesus. That the whole Gospel of John and 1, 2, 3 John really are just a passive aggressive tantrum from a persecuted group using the generally made up character of Jesus (very much the Christ of "faith" in this instance) 
  
  How amateur of me to think that Christ's words in John's Gospel could have ANY obvious meaning for any Christian beyond the year 120 CE!
