As one of the most important parts of Bible, The Gospel of John has been studied extensively. One recent tendency is to interpret the Pneumatology of this Gospel from a holistic perspective. However, this approach faces two problems. Firstly, the Pneumatology in the Farewell Discourse is explicitly related to communal issues, and yet this relation cannot be found in the first twelve chapters. Additionally, it is unclear how the Spirit, which remains impersonal in the first twelve chapters, is changed to the personified Paraclete in the Farewell Discourse. The present research takes on these two problems, with a special attention to the Pneumatology in Jesus's discourses, which distinguishes the Evangelist from other pneumatic tradition in primitive Christianity. I wish to address the issue of Pneumatology by adopting the cultural anthropological methods proposed by Mary Douglas, which consists of "Group-Grid Theory", Bodily Symbolism and the Control of Symbol. The Spirit in John 1-12 could be interpreted as an ascetic symbol that performs the function of criticizing the parent culture, nurturing a self-aware individual and building new identity, supporting the social system of "low grid". As for John 3, 4 and 6, the Spirit symbolizes the call for abandoning the secular identity for the sacred identity, the rejection of materialized holy places that leads to breaking the boundaries between ethnic groups, and the examination of the disciples' faith in following Jesus on the Way to the Cross. In this process, Jesus, with Pneumatology in his discourses, guides the audience to efface the epistemological barricade established under the influence of Judaism, and become his disciples. The community of the disciples has not been significantly established until the departing Jesus teaches in the Farewell Discourse. The Paraclete, as a personified symbol, facilitates the formation of a group identity, sets apart the disciples, and strengthens solidarity. It is the leading paradigm of symbolism in a society of "strong group". With the analysis in the framework of "group-grid theory", and the retrospect of Roman Empire's religious policy against "oi 'Ioνδαioi", as well as taking into consideration the ambiguous attitude to Jews in the Gospel of John, we can imply that the Johannine Community were experiencing a form of identity crisis during this period: their desperate aspiration to be distinguished from Judaism projects to the narrative level, which takes form as a community of the disciples in the Gospel narrative.
