| Sep 26, 2022 at 15:18 | comment | added | Dan Fefferman | we can deduce purpose from the text. In Galatians we know that Paul sought to counter the Judaizers because we analyze it in the context of other things we know. Although it involves a bit of speculation, we can do the same for the Gospel of John. | |
| Sep 26, 2022 at 15:11 | comment | added | Dan Fefferman | for me, questions about purpose should be considered kosher. Parsing the "meaning" of a biblical writer's text is not significantly different from attempting to understand the purpose of his book. | |

Feel free to edit it further if I haven't captured your intent correctly. A good question should focus on one thing, though it's understandable that it's difficult to talk about audience without also talking about the purpose of the text. | |

refined question to keep on-topic

| Sep 26, 2022 at 7:25 | comment | added | Steve can help♦ | I'd take the line that it's perfectly valid to take the text of John's Gospel as a whole and ask who the intended recipients are. Asking about its purpose is a bit more abstract and likely to end in conjecture, and rolling in theological questions is more problematic. But there's definitely a good solid nugget here. | |
