The author of a much-loved two-volume Matthew commentary that he revised and expanded in 2007, Frederick Dale Bruner now offers The Gospel of John: A Commentary the fruit of his lifetime of study and teaching. Rather than relying mainly on recent scholarship, Bruners approach honors and draws from the churchs major John commentators throughout history, including Augustine, Chrysostom, Aquinas, Luther, Calvin, Henry, Bultmann, Barrett, and more.
Added to this historical interpretation is Bruners contemporary interpretation, which incorporates a clear translation of the text, references to major recent scholarship, and Bruners personal application of the Gospel to his own experience. Rich in biblical insights, ecumenical in tone, broadly historical, deeply theological, and lovingly written, Bruners Gospel of John promises to be an invaluable resource for pastors and teachers.
