Employing the methodology of social-scientific biblical criticism, the author investigates the pneumatology of John and I John. With particular attention paid to the spirit passages in John, the pneumatology of I John is studied with a view to the development between the two writings, and to what this suggests about the socio-cultural context of the Johannine community.
