Abstract :
A generation ago there was quite a discussion of Käsemann’s interpretation of the gospel of John (for him it is gnostic and docetic). Then most rejected this interpretation, few agreed, today it is almost forgotten, and that is to deplore. For many points of Käsemann’s interpretation make sense, if one assumes that the author of the gospel of John knew the synoptic gospels and especially Luke-Acts with its early catholic ecclesiology. Since most of the secondary literature, which Käsemann used, and even Käsemann’s own writings are nearly unknown, extensive quotations permit to follow and control the argumentation of this article.
