John's Gospel has had an incalculable impact on human history. Its pages contain a moral and spiritual potency which, over the centuries, has transformed communities, brought about political change and remade human character on a scale without precedent.
The power remains in the Gospel today. At its centre, as at the centre of his exposition, is Jesus Christ in his glory and grace, majesty and tenderness. Bruce Milne believes that we can experience his presence even today, for the Gospel was 'written that ... you may have life in his name'.
The Gospel of John is a witness to the King, as much a tract for our times as for John's. Bruce Milne's exposition focuses on the ministry of Jesus before his incarnation, during his life on earth and after his resurrection. The centrepiece of this Gospel is the cross, and its background the solemnity of God's judgment of the ...world.
Part of The Good Book Company's Commentary List, this commentary has been selected because it not only deals faithfully and carefully with God's Word but is readable, practical and accessible as well.
I bought this book to help with preparing talks at church. I found it was very detailed and academic in tone, but the texture of the language was too heavy. It needed considerable supplementing to help shed light on the text.
Also editorially it's not as good as others in this excellent series.
If you are of an academic bent with some time to digest this material, then I'm sure it will repay great dividends. I myself will continue looking for clearer guides to John's Gospel.
