Robin Griffith-Jones, Times Literary Supplement The JTS review of Ashton's first edition concludes on an entirely favourable note: 'In the way in which he draws together the threads of recent research, as well as in his own contributions, Ashton truly represents the advance of Johannine scholarship since Bultmann and Dodd' (JTS 43, 1991, pp. 594-600).
