Resumo

The meaning of 'Lamb of God' as one of the titles used for Jesus in the Gospel of John is important to understanding the Johannine Jesus. This study evaluates existing interpretations of 'amnos' in the light of literary approaches. The depiction of 'amnos' in ancient Christian art sheds light on the meaning of 'amnos' and the way in which the ancient Christian church understood it.
