“By believing you may have life in his name” —John 20:31
In this commentary, Andreas J. Köstenberger culminates a lifetime of scholarship in Johannine literature. The Gospel of John states its purpose: to demonstrate Jesus’s true identity as the Christ and the Son of God. Köstenberger interprets the Gospel from this perspective, focusing on its text and meaning over secondary concerns. John presents Jesus in relation to Israel’s story and key figures. Köstenberger highlights John’s Old Testament sources, redemptive-historical framework, and biblical-theological connections. This detailed commentary will guide all students of Scripture to see Jesus as John’s Gospel intends.

You can purchase this commentary on John’s Gospel in digital format on LOGOS (one volume) and in hard cover on AMAZON (two volumes; John 1-12 and John 13-21). The commentary is part of the Evangelical Exegetical Commentary (EEC) series. The series focuses on primary engagement with the original Greek text. Interaction with secondary sources (though plentiful) is secondary.
Evangelical and Exegetical
The Evangelical Exegetical Commentary (EEC) series (including this volume) is evangelical and exegetical. It evidences a high view of Scripture and is very thorough without being labored. There are numerous topical excursuses and biblical theology comments. There are also various figures, charts, and maps.
A Reliable Resource
This volume will serve as a reliable resource for preachers, teachers, and serious Bible students who want to know what the text says (based on the original author’s intent, i.e., the apostle John) rather than what it does not say. It displays a robust triadic hermeneutic (history, literature, and theology) and biblical-theological approach (connecting John’s Gospel to its primary canonical sources in the Old Testament and other New Testament writings).

Este comentario de Juan, por Dr. Köstenberger, es el resultado de la erudición, exegesis profunda y la enseñanza de sus contenidos en la iglesia local. Es una ayuda indispensable para el predicador expositivo y el estudiante serio de las Escrituras. Su perspectiva apegada al texto acerca al lector a la intención del autor bíblico.
