The Gospel of John, known as the Fourth Gospel, constructed a historical narrative and a theological discourse that differed from the other three Gospels, the so-called Synoptics, in the Christian canon. The geographical framework in which this unique construction of the Gospel is situated is largely common to the other Gospels. However, the inclusion of many geographical references not found in the Synoptic records has made the Gospel of John problematic to be used as an authentic source for the age of Jesus. In fact, since some of the Johannine references are supported by archaeological evidence and literary findings, it has been argued that the evangelist knew the geography he narrated well. Nevertheless, due to the intensely symbolic language of the Gospel, it is believed that these geographical references are components of narrative construction that support the theological discourse of the evangelist or reflect the socio-historical situation of the community to which the Gospel is addressed. On the other hand, it is not difficult to find data that would justify both possibilities when the Gospel as a whole is taken into account. In order to overcome this ambiguity, it may be easier to reach a more accurate conclusion by approaching the issue from a different angle. As is well known, the geography of the Gospels is the homeland of Jesus' words and deeds, or, to use Christian terminology, of his mission. In particular, the Jerusalem region and the temple surrounding are the main setting of the Fourth Gospel narrative. At the same time, this geography is a territory that the Jews - who in the Gospels do not believe in Jesus and are hostile to him - demarcate as sacred. Therefore, in order to unveil the meaning of the geographical construction of the Gospel of John, it is appropriate to choose the encounter between Jerusalem, the sacred space of the Jews, and Jesus, the sacred figure of the Christians, in other words, the intersection of the two sacred, as the focus of the research. It is precisely on the basis of this choice that this study seeks to examine the narrative function of the geographical and topographical references in the Fourth Gospel. To this end, the Johannine geography will be examined on an interdisciplinary basis by making use of the anthropological conceptualization of territoriality, in a line that extends from the broad to the narrow, including the region of Judah, the city of Jerusalem, the Temple area and the Temple, respectively.
