"I Am" — How John's Gospel Claims the Divine Name for Jesus

In John 8:58, Jesus says five words that provoke an immediate attempt at stoning: "Before Abraham was, I am." This video traces the Christological escalation in John's Gospel — from Son of God, to equal with God, to claiming YHWH's own divine name — and shows how the author's editorial hand shapes theology at every step. Key concepts covered: • Christology and the spectrum of beliefs about Jesus's identity • The Synoptic Gospels vs. John's Gospel on the divinity of Jesus • Editorial glosses — how the author of John interprets events (John 5:18) • "Ego eimi" and its connection to the tetragrammaton (YHWH) from Exodus 3:14 • The escalation pattern in John 8: dialogue → dispute → violence • High Christology and its role in shaping the Council of Nicaea and Trinitarian doctrine • How to distinguish authorial interpretation from historical reporting in ancient texts ——————————————————— ORIGINAL SOURCE ——————————————————— This video distills ideas from a longer lecture.
