T1  - Finding their own way in a Jewish environment: the Letters (and Gospel) of John and the parting of the ways
T2  - Parting of the ways: the variegated ways of separations between Jews and Christians
N2  - The article asks whether in the Gospel of John and especially in the Epistles of John a separation of the Johannine communities from Judaism can already be discerned. It demonstrates on the basis of the relevant passages 1 John 2:18–25, 4:1–3 and 2 John 7 that the conflict with the competitors in the Epistles (which are set after the Gospel) is still fought out in the inner-Jewish sphere. While a separation from Judaism has not yet taken place, essential aspects concerning the formation of a distinctive identity are found in 1 John. This is evidenced by the conviction that Jesus is the Messiah of God, the forgiveness of sins, the group-specific application of the Torah, and the formation of a specific tradition. The last point recapitulates how 1 John undertakes a demarca- tion of its own group from the majority of Jews. We see the effort to find one’s own way within being Jewish.
