VAN DER WATT, Jan  y  KOK, Kobus. Violence in a gospel of love: the perspective of the Gospel of John on violence against Jesus and his disciples. Herv. teol. stud. [online]. 2008, vol.64, n.4, pp.1793-1812. ISSN 2072-8050.

This article is the first of two articles in which violence in the Gospel of John is discussed. In these articles strong techniques of vilification in the Gospel are pointed out, according to which the status of the opposing group is radically discredited by the Jews on the one hand, and the followers of Jesus on the other hand. In the first article violence and vilification by the Jews, or disciples of Moses against the followers and disciples of Jesus are investigated. It is argued that the central issue of the conflict revolves around the question: Where is God's presence to be found? Among the Jews or among the followers of Jesus? The conflict and violence in John could be understood against the backdrop of this important question.
