520 |a Recent scholarship focused on the role of embodiment within cognition and communication reminds us that part of how we "know" is through our physical senses.

How might this influence our understanding of biblical texts, such as Jesus's claim, "I am the bread of life," and the invitation to eat? This study explores the I am sayings of John's Gospel, their sensory elements providing an imaginative entry into the narrative and contributing tangible value to the participatory theology of the Fourth Gospel.
