TWO ACCOUNTS OF LAZARUS' RESURRECTION IN JOHN 11 by DELBERT BURKETT Mechanicsburg, PA The Fourth Gospel exhibits a wide array of perplexing literary features, generally termed "aporias". These include duplications, inconsistencies, and rough connections.' To account for these literary difficulties, scholars have proposed various source and redaction theories..2 Bultmann, for example, detected three primary sources in the Gospel: a narrative "signs source" relating a number of miracles performed by Jesus, a discourse source, and a passion source.3 According to Bultmann, the combination and redaction of these sources brought inconsistent ideas together and 1 Robert Tomson Fortna defines aporias as "the roughnesses and tensions-the interruptions and sudden turns, non sequiturs and even contradictions, passages with dense or overloaded wording, the doublets" in the Fourth Gospel (The Fourth Gospel and its Predecessor [Philadelphia: Fortress, 1988] 4). For descriptions of the difficulties see Raymond E. Brown, The Gospel According to John (Garden City, NY: Doubleday, 1966-70) xxiv-xxv; Urban C. von Wahlde, The Earliest Version of John's Gospel: Recovering the Gospel of Signs (Wilmington, DE: Michael Glazier, 1989) 17-20. 2 See surveys of proposed solutions in Wilbert Francis Howard, The Fourth Gospel in Recent Criticism and Interpretation (4th ed.; rev. by C.K.
