The primary method of this dissertation is a faith-based hermeneutic of the Gospel of John in which the entire text is authenticated as being the true Gospel of Jesus Christ mentioned in the Qur'an. The text of John is interpreted through the "theo-mystical" lens of Sunnite Muslim scholars such as al-Junayd, al-Ghazali, and Ibn Arabi. The Gospel is also analyzed through secular scholarship, that is, non-confessionally/theologically, although there will be minor or major theological implications resulting from such engagement. This is a pre-canonical/exegetical analysis of the Gospel in which its themes and contents will be viewed as a product of its historical, that is to say, its theological, social, and cultural milieu. In other words, the Gospel will be situated within its historical context and examined as to how it is in dialogue with its initial audience. The impetus for such analysis will be the popular Muslim belief in the "Injil Archetype," the now lost actual Revelation of God to Jesus, which is reflected at times in the New Testament canonical gospels, or "pseudo-injils." In conclusion, due to its more honorable treatment of the Bible, as well as its "explanatory power," given the fact that the Qur'an accepts the New Testament gospels as the very Injil, the textually-affirming approach in which the entire text of the Gospel of John's Prologue and Book of Signs is authenticated and understood as the highly mystical aspect of a rigidly monotheistic teaching whose trajectory intersects Sunnite Islam's normative theo-mystical teachings, is more compelling than the historical critical approach for Muslim academics, both Eastern and Western. When the Qur'an speaks of the Injil, it is speaking of the Gospel of John and reading the Gospel of John through a " polemirenic" Sunni confessional lens will reveal that the Johannine Jesus ('Isa) was a beloved and sanctified agent of God, annihilated in God's very character, who taught the world profound spiritual verities. Thus the teachings of Jesus Christ, as recorded in the Fourth Gospel, are in agreement with the teachings of the Qur'an and Muhammad, as espoused by the great spiritual masters of Sunnite Islam.
