The volume documents a symposium at the University of Zurich on the occasion of the 75th birthday of Prof. Dr. Jean Zumstein. In a variety of topics, it offers a discussion with the researcher of the jubilee on the Gospel of John. The individual contributions reflect the enduring importance of the narratologically based, hermeneutically and theologically oriented approach of the interpretation of St. Reflections on the reception and impact history of the Gospel by Antoine de Saint-Exupérie round off the volume.
