| Sumario: | Since Origen and Chrysostom, Johns Gospel has been valued as the most spiritual among the New Testament writings. Although Origen recognizes the Stoic character of Johns statement that "God is pneuma" (4:24), an examination of the gospel in light of Stoic physics has not yet been carried out.

Combining her insight into Stoic physics and ancient physiology, the author situates her thesis in the major discussions of modern Johannine. |
