May I ask, where is it said that Carson said in this instance that the purpose of John is determinative for interpretative questions? The conclusion of the interpreter of Carson is not determinative for Carson.
Thankyou for the keen observation. That was Lane's conclusion based on Carson's "purpose" for the book. I retract my statement and acknowledge my mistake. My comment about meta-narrative applies only to Lane's conclusion based on Carson's "purpose." Blessings!
