The Gospel Coalition begins these reviews with the following introduction: “John writes his Gospel “so that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name” (20:31). His book teaches readers that Jesus Christ is the divine Son who is sent into the world to reveal the true way to the Father (14:6). John scatters seven signs like turning water into wine (2:1–11), feeding the multitude (6:1–15), and raising Lazarus (11:1–44) throughout his Gospel. They point to Christ’s distinctiveness as the God-man. He also includes seven “I Am” sayings which illuminate the distinctive characteristics of Christ’s saving work. Through these unique ways of recounting the good news, John emphasizes God’s regenerating and transforming work.
Here are our top picks for commentaries on John’s Gospel.”
This reviews are rated as appropriate for various local church settings from group leaders through preachers noting those where some proficiency in New Testament Greek is required. The focus of some on theological issues , historical settings, or literary forms is highlighted.
I use most of these commentaries through my Logos Bible Software and agree with their reviews.
