Summary of The Gospel According To John
Press Reviews
This commentary shows Carson’s usual exegetical care and insight. It is an example of conservative evangelical scholarship at its best. Very highly recommended to any who want to understand better the Gospel of John.
This is a remarkably useful commentary on John for exegetical details. Carson states in the introduction that he does not intend to interact with all of the scholarship on John, but rather “a small representative part of the massive secondary literature on John.” In the body of the commentary he treats the Greek text well both in terms of lexical and syntactical issues. All Greek words are transliterated so the non-Greek reader will have no problem reading the commentary. Footnotes are rare, sources are cited in-text. Carson is best when he is comparing several options for understanding a text. In the end, it is always very clear what his view is!
I cannot recommend this commentary on John highly enough. It is a magnificent work, and one that would greatly benefit any serious student or teacher of the Bible.
Throughout his commentary Carson does the following:
* makes clear the flow of the text, focusing on the movement of thought rather than on word studies and Greek syntax
* engages a small but representative part of the massive secondary literature on John, providing a kind of map of contemporary studies on this Gospel
* draws a few lines toward establishing how John's Gospel contributes to biblical and systematic theology
* offers a consistent exposition of John as an evangelistic Gospel
Preceded by a comprehensive introduction treating such matters as the authenticity, authorship, purpose and structure of the Gospel, this commentary on John exhibits the solid evangelical Scripture exposition for which Carson is well known and respected.
