Overview
Interpreting the Gospel of John presents and easy–to–follow, step–by–step plan for exegeting the fourth Gospel. It leads beginners through a maze of academic discussion concerning origins, authorship, and interpretation.

Leading commentaries on the Gospel of John are rated according to scholarship and reliability.
One section of this practical volume focuses on preaching and teaching from the Gospel of John. Burge notes that even the best study techniques are only tools for mining spiritual truths.
