554 Lars Kierspel as a diligent collection of individual pericopae but as creative clusters of meaning. Trinity College of the Bible Lars KIERSPEL and Theological Seminary 4233 Medwell Drive Newburgh, IN 47630, USA SUMMARY After offering a critical analysis of Moloney’s synthetical parallelism for John 2–4, this article argues for a chiastic structure of the Cana-to-Cana cycle which directs the reader from the visible signs (2,1-12+4,43-54) and physical properties of religion (2,13-22+4,1-42) to Jesus as the metaphysical agent of God’s salvation and judgment (3,1-21+3,22-36). The new “dematerialized” faith thereby subverts expectations of material restoration and reorients the believing eye not towards a sanctuary but towards the Son. STUBE, A Graeco-Roman Rhetorical Reading of the Farwell Discourse (LNTS 309; London 2006), esp. 72-80. Following Østenstad, H. THYEN, Das Johannes- evangelium (HNT I/6; Tübingen 2005) esp. 419-421, even finds the whole Gospel as a grand seven-part ring structure with the center in 8,12-12,50. See also note 62 in this article.
