This contribution analyzes the Dialogue of the Savior (NHC III,5) in the light of the concept of a “Johannist Constellation” of texts, proposed by Mauro Pesce and Adriana Destro. Selected passages from the Dialogue are investigated to verify whether this text can be included in the Johannist Constellation, by considering (in particular) cosmology, Christology, soteriology, and the themes of heavenly ascent and mystical vision. The gospels of John and Thomas, in view of their connections with the Dialogue, take on an important role in the analysis.

Abstract
This contribution analyzes the Dialogue of the Savior (NHC III,5) in the light of the concept of a “Johannist Constellation” of texts, proposed by Mauro Pesce and Adriana Destro. Selected passages from the Dialogue are investigated to verify whether this text can be included in the Johannist Constellation, by considering (in particular) cosmology, Christology, soteriology, and the themes of heavenly ascent and mystical vision. The gospels of John and Thomas, in view of their connections with the Dialogue, take on an important role in the analysis.File in questo prodotto:
