R. Petri, Über den Roman des Chariton (Meisenheim: Hain, 1963) lists numerous echoes of the mysteries in Chariton’s novel, though he fails to understand their religious implication. He rashly asserts that they are all meant ironically, an assumption based upon the misleading idea that Chariton was a “secular” author; Petri’s study must be corrected in the light of Biraud, “La dévotion à Aphrodite dans le roman de Chariton,” and D.A. Edwards, “Pleasurable Reading or Symbols of Power? Religious Themes and Social Context in Chariton,” in Ancient Fiction and Early Christian Narrative (ed. R. F. Hock et al.; Atlanta, Ga.: sbl, 1998) 31-46.

M. Smith, Clement of Alexandria and a Secret Gospel of Mark (Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, 1973) 174: “The Lazarus story, in both its Johannine and [Secret] Markan forms, was connected with baptismal resurrection.” M. Smith is the only one who has recognised the baptismal meaning of the Lazarus story, though he does not elaborate the point. Otherwise, I found only two casual references to the theme of baptism in the literature about John 11: (1) John 11:25-27 may echo a ritual dialogue that formed part of the baptismal liturgy; M. Labahn, Jesus als Lebensspender: Untersuchungen zu einer Geschichte der johanneischen Tradition (Berlin: de Gruyter, 1999) 422. (2) “I make no claim that the performance of John 11 was linked with baptism; but the story must clearly be brought into relation with Romans 6:1-11,” R. Griffith-Jones, “Apocalyptic Mystagogy: Rebirth from Above in the Reception of John’s Gospel,” in John’s Gospel and Intimations of Apocalyptic (ed. C.H. Williams and C. Rowland; London: Bloomsbury, 2013) 274-299, 294 n. 48.—Finally, mention must be made of T.J. Talley, The Origins of the Liturgical Year (2nd ed.; Collegeville, Minn.: Liturgical Press, 1991) 203-214 who, on the basis of M. Smith’s Clement of Alexandria and a Secret Gospel of Mark, explores the possibility of connecting the “Lazarus Saturday” of Eastern Christianity with a commemoration of Jesus as the baptiser of one of his disciples.
