With this acclaimed volume in the Pillar New Testament Commentary series, Carson explains the text of John’s Gospel to help you minister the Word of God to others, either by preaching or by leading Bible studies. The commentary will also deepen your understanding of the Gospel in your own life and worship.

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.
