> Dear List,
>
> I'm reading through John's gospel and have been impressed with how often 
> this
> gospel refers to the theme of "sending" (both APOSTELLW and PEMPW, the 2 
> words
> appear to be used interchangeably in John). There appear to be 4 
> significant
> categories:
> 1. God sends John the Baptist
> 2. God sends Jesus
> 3. Jesus sends His disciples
> 4. Jesus sends the Holy Spirit
> Are you aware of any articles or other references that treat this topic? 
> One
> specific area especially of interest to me is whether some such title as, 
> "The
> Sent One" (from Heb SHALACH), might have been understood in 2nd temple 
> times as
> a designation of the Messiah. Some verses even appear to make belief that 
> Jesus
> is the Sent One as the content of saving faith (see,11:42; 
> 17:3,8,21,23,25).
