New in the Eerdmans Classic Biblical Commentaries collection

In this classic commentary on the Gospel of John, first published in 1983, F. F. Bruce leads readers through the rich and complex words of John the Evangelist with a careful verse-by-verse exposition of the Gospel’s original text, its historical context, and its ongoing relevance for the Christian life.

Drawing on more than thirty years of study, Bruce introduces the volume with discussions of the Gospel’s authorship, its significance for the early church, and its message. The commentary proper is based on Bruce’s own translation of the Greek text, and the bibliography and notes point to resources for further study.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Commentary.

F.F. Bruce really opens up the gospel of John in this commentary. This is not a commentary for a quick, 5 minute read. This commentary really dives deep into the Bible and is a great resource.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, concise commentary
Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2012

F. F. Bruce's treatment of the Gospel of John is a scholarly, concise, and practical--useful for the academic and a small group leader in a church. As with all his works, Bruce is not hesitant in dealing with speculations, hard sayings, and controversies surrounding this gospel account. His style also leaves room for disagreement regarding interpretation and application of a particular story or teaching ascribed to Jesus.

5.0 out of 5 stars For the serious student of the Word
Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2013

This is written for the serious student of the Word. I would equate this book more in line for the seminary student or graduate in comparison to D.A. Carson's commentary on John that is in depth, but more user friendly for the casual church leader. I love it and find it extremely insightful.

3.0 out of 5 stars It does what it says on the tin but no more than that
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 25, 2021
Verified Purchase
Like most 'general' commentaries, iy aims at no specific audience and succeeds admirably. The phrase 'NOT FOR THE SPECIALIST' should be on the front cover and not simply in the Preface...by which time it is too late to find out. My own 'need' to find out the force of the word 'but' in John 14:31 was not addressed...at all. I bought this volume because there is no 'New International Greek Commentary' (yet) available on John. Eerdmans, are you reading this?t

El Dr. Bruce dejó claro en el prefacio que está obra “está dirigida principalmente para el lector Cristiano general que está interesado en el estudio serio de la Biblia, no para el estudiante profesional y especialista”. No obstante, este trabajo no le debe nada a su comentario de la epístola a los Gálatas en cuanto a la riqueza de sus comentarios, aunque el nivel de profundidad en cuanto a su análisis es diferente (un poco mayor en Gálatas), Bruce toca los aspectos textuales, lingüísticos y críticos de una manera completamente accesible para todos, y que posiblemente pueda plantar en el corazón del lector el deseo de ir más profundo en su investigación. Gloria a Dis por este precioso comentario.

El libro llegó en excelente condiciones, estoy completamente satisfecho.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great overall book on the Gospel of John
Reviewed in Canada on November 29, 2016

Great overall book on the Gospel of John. Has taught me much about the 4th gospel. Not as detailed or deep as DA Carson's or Leon Morris' but has its own special insights. While F.F. Bruce isn't quite as conservative and an orthodox Evangelical may find some things that may raise your eyebrows, overall it is a solid book.
