Abstract

[This chapter provides an initial interpretation of the prologue with special attention to its racial rhetoric. The analysis includes a review of the purpose of prologues, darkness as imperial agents of death (1:4–5), the world as de-ethnicized rhetoric (vv. 9–10), kinship and racial rejection (v. 11), a reinterpretation of the “born of God” phrase as kinship language (vv. 12–13), and Jewish representation (vv. 6–8, 15–18). It concludes by exploring the racialized reality of the prologue and the implications it has for reading the role of racial rejection, kinship identity, and imperial agendas examined in later chapters.]
