Book Reviews of John (IVP New Testament Commentary Series)
Book Review: Outstanding Introduction and Commentary on John
Summary: 5 Stars
Rodney Whitacre succeeds in writing a thorough, scholarly commentary on the Gospel of John that serves readers in a devotional manner also. Whitacre combines top notch insights with eloquent, simple writing based on extensive research on the topic.
This is a book that will prove a satisfactory resource for research, and you will find you will not want to put it down. I think it works great for academics and/or a personal devotional guide to complement Bible reading no matter what your background or familiarity with the Gospel of John.
Craig Stephans, author of Shakespeare On Spirituality: Life-Changing Wisdom from Shakespeare's Plays
Summary of John (IVP New Testament Commentary Series)
The Gospel of John declares its purpose clearly--"these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and thay by believing you may have life in his name." Thus it fulfills a dual function, encouraging believers and providing them with evidences for proclaiming that Jesus is God's Messiah, the divine, incarnate Son of God. Christians today, as in the first century, can draw strength and courage from John's telling of the story of Jesus, a telling that consistently reflects not only the words and deeds of Jesus but their inner significance. We are called to worship as we find the Father, Son and Spirit revealed in the Gospel. And as in Jesus we discover God's light, life and love, we learn to respond in faith, humility and obedience. In this engaging, pastorally-oriented commentary, readers will find an introduction with background material concerning authorship, date and purpose, as well as a summary of important theological themes. A passage-by-passage exposition follows that focuses on understanding what John had to say to his original readers in order to see its relevance for the church today. Students, pastors, Bible teachers and everyone who wants to understand the message of John for the church will benefit from this excellent resource.Reference Books
