The Dionysian Gospel
The Fourth Gospel and Euripides
Book • 2017
In 'The Dionysian Gospel', Dennis R. MacDonald explores the connections between the Fourth Gospel and Euripides's The Bacchae, arguing that the Gospel's themes were influenced by the myth of Dionysus.
MacDonald uses mimesis criticism to show how the Gospel presents Jesus as surpassing Dionysus, offering life rather than vengeance.
This work provides a unique perspective on the cultural and literary influences on early Christian texts.
