Abstract
This project is intended to depict the Gospel of John as a blog, an online conversation between several of the characters in John. It contains postings, replies, news articles, advertisements and pictures. The blog mainly emphasizes the material in John that depicts tensions over authority that John presents in reference to Thomas, Peter and Mary Magdalene. There are other scenes displayed however. The synoptic gospels and non-canonical gospels form a backdrop for this tension, but material from John is most prominent. I tried to be as diverse in representing each scene as I could. I tried to play the images used and posts off the medium in which they are displayed, both in form and content; these are ancient accounts and depictions of these accounts presented in markedly modern ways, via the Internet. The blogs are written in plain modern language with quotes from John incorporated.
