The Seeing of Jesus Christ in the Gospel of John : theological and anthropological perspectives

The objective of the study is to map the transformative, conversion passage of seeing Gog, from invisible to visible, from (not)seeing to “being seen” by God, from extrinsic sight, to inner faith. This journey is proposed from a pluri‐disciplinary approach, anthropological, sociocultural, theological, spiritual view. Furthermore, to facilitate new valences of the phenomenon of seeing and being seen by God, the present study presents multiple contexts and philosophical currents, Greco‐ Roman world, Jewish world in the Old Testament, the Near East, and the Christian tradition, with Church Fathers’ view on Jesus seeing and aspecial emphasis on Gospel of John. To enrich this study we proposes an ecumenical analysis of seeing God in Gospel of John.
