Are there any alternative / emergent views on John 10:22-ff?

I'm just wondering if there is any other way of looking at the whole "I and the father are one" issue, and all that is this hugely important passage of the Bible. As per the comment, I'll spell it out. Traditionally and in most Biblical commentaries, the passage is Jesus telling those around him that he is God. To quote the ESV commentary: > Jesus’ claim that I and the Father are one (i.e., one entity—the Gk. > is neuter; cf. 5:17–18; 10:33–38) echoes the Shema, the basic > confession of Judaism, whose first word in Deut. 6:4 is shema‘ (Hb. > “hear”). Jesus’ words thus amount to a claim to deity. What I'm interested in are other viewpoints. Anything from Panenthism (see 10:34) or otherwise (i.e. extending the idea of the Logos within Sufism). Anything from the Emergent Church group would also be great.
