A Bibliography for the Spirit in the Gospel of John Compiled by: Joseph Greene Those who want to study the Holy Spirit in John s Gospel are confronted with an enormous body of literature. Below is a bibliography of scholarly works (grouped into monographs, dissertations, and articles) that focus on the Spirit in the Fourth Gospel. To limit the scope, I have not included commentaries or general theologies on John; nor have I included systematic works on pneumatology unless they have a heavy focus on John s presentation of the Spirit (even though these more general works should be consulted when studying the Spirit in John). I also have not included anything before 1950. I have, however, included articles that examine specific passages in John that feature the Spirit. Due to the volume of material, I am sure some works have been left out. JG Monographs Barrett, C. K. The Holy Spirit and the Gospel Tradition. New York: Macmillian, 1947. Bennema, Cornelis.
