- Abstract:
- John 20:24-29 – the Doubting Thomas Narrative - is explored in terms of the thesis that Jesus showed Thomas wounds absolutely identical to the wounds originating at the time of the crucifixion. John understands the risen Jesus to enact sovereignty over time in this passage. This was a new stage in John’s Christological Development and augmented his Heavenly Son of Man Christology. The latter posited Jesus’ everlasting eternal personhood but did not on the basis of this conclude, as the later development did, that Jesus could manipulate or ‘cut and paste’ time in the way that ordinary humans can control (or manipulate) events and objects.
