InChristianity, the Book of Glory, also called the Book of Exaltation, refers to the second main part of the Gospel of John, following the Book of Signs and preceding the epilogue to the gospel. It is named for its association with the glorification of Jesus after his Crucifixion, burial, and Resurrection.^[1]

Location in text[edit]

There is a widespread scholarly view that John's gospel can be broken into four parts: a prologue, (John 1:-1:18), the Book of Signs (1:19 to 12:50), the Book of Glory (orExaltation) (13:1 to 20:31) and an epilogue (chapter 21).^[1] John 20:30 reads:

Many other signs also did Jesus in the sight of his disciples, which are not written in this book. But these are written, that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God: and that believing, you may have life in his name.^[2]

It is this indication by the evangelist that the signs are selected, which leads to the examination of them as a sequence of seven.
