Synopsis

The Gospel of John has become so familiar and seems so simple that it is easy to overlook its special challenges, says the author of this helpful guide. Interpreting the Gospel of John, now updated and back in print, presents an easy-to-follow, step-by-step plan for exegeting the Fourth Gospel. It leads beginners through the maze of academic discussion concerning origins, authorship, and interpretation. Textual, cultural, and literary considerations are explained, and leading commentaries on the Gospel of John are rated according to scholarship and reliability. The final section of the volume focuses on preaching and teaching from John. Interpreting the Gospel of John is part of Baker's Guides to New Testament Exegesis series, covering the various genres of New Testament literature.
