AB Johannine irony depends on the audience being able to maintain a hierarchical separation of two levels: heavenly/earthly, spiritual/material, figural/literal, etc. A deconstructive reading suggests that this two-storey structure collapses with the Johannine compression of exaltation and crucifixion motifs, resulting in a failure of irony. Deconstruction, which gives scrupulous attention to subtle divisions within the text, offers a timely corrective to recent compositional and narrative approaches. But are divisions or other data actually ""in"" the text, or products of certain ways of ""framing"" it? The earlier reading is reenacted, but in a way designed to draw critical attention to the workings of the frame itself.
