Disaffiliation in associations and the ἀποσυναγωγός of John

Abstract: <p>This article tries to understand what might have been at stake for the synagogue from which the Johannine Jesus partisans had been expelled and what was at stake in the coinage of the term ἀποσυναγωγός. It we refuse to accept naively John’s overlexicalised and retrospective account of the grounds for expulsions and pay attention to the practices of other groups in articulating a disciplinary code, I suggest that what was at stake was deviant behaviour on the part of the Johannine Jesus-partisans: eith… Show more

The Gospel texts also show some indications of association language and practice, such as the process of collective, communal writing (Last 2012) and the manner of addressing inner-group conflict through resolution, as in Matthew (Ascough 2001), or the expulsion of aberrant subgroups as reflected in the Fourth Gospel (Kloppenborg 2011a).…”
