Title Disaffiliation in associations and the ἀποσυναγωγός of John
 
Creator Kloppenborg, John S.
 
Subject — The Gospel of John; excommunication from the synagogue (ἀποσυναγωγός); anti-society language; birkhat haMinim; Sabbath observance; misbehavior towards the temple and the commandment of loving each other
Description This article tries to understand what might have been at stake for the synagogue from which the Johannine Jesus partisans had been expelled and what was at stake in the coinage of the term ἀποσυναγωγός. It we refuse to accept naively John’s overlexicalised and retrospective account of the grounds for expulsions and pay attention to the practices of other groups in articulating a disciplinary code, I suggest that what was at stake was deviant behaviour on the part of the Johannine Jesus-partisans: either failure to comply with the larger group’s practices concerning Sabbath observance, or more likely, clique formation.
