Synopsis

Among the Gospels, John's is unique. It has a unique structure with long conversations and extended debates, and much of its content is not found elsewhere. Jesus' relationship to the Father and his teaching on the Holy Spirit are given special prominence. Ultimately, faith, believing in Jesus, is at the centre - with signs highlighted to provoke faith and stories of those who responded to Jesus as examples of faith. Colin Kruse ably shows how the Fourth Gospel weaves its themes of belief and unbelief into its rich Christology.This classic commentary has been completely retypeset and presented in a fresh, vibrant new large paperback format, with new global branding.

About this title

Review

"The Tyndale volumes have long been the premier shorter-length commentary series on both Testaments throughout the English-speaking world."--Craig Blomberg, Denver Seminary

"Tyndale commentaries are always useful, not least because they focus so clearly on the text of Scripture, and do not fall into the trap of paying too much attention to other commentaries and not enough to the scriptural text they are intended to expound and explain. So they retain their usefulness for preachers, Bible study leaders and for all readers of the Bible."--Peter Adam, principal, Ridley College, Melbourne, Australia

"Within its constraints, this series includes some outstanding volumes."--D. A. Carson, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School

"There simply is no series of medium-length commentaries that approaches the excellence of the Tyndale commentaries."--Donald A. Hagner, Fuller Theological Seminary

"The evenness and quality of this series are remarkable."--Christianity Today

From the Author

From the Author's Preface

The writing of this commentary has been a rich experience for me. I have seen afresh something of the glory of Jesus Christ, the Word made flesh and full of grace and truth, whom the evangelist so skilfully portrays. As the commentary goes out, it is my prayer that it will enable readers to understand the Gospel of John better, and by so doing to know better the only trueGod whose glory, grace and truth were revealed in the person and ministry of Jesus. To know this God and Jesus Christ whom he sent is to experience eternal life (John 17:3).
