The book of John is foundational to any believer and Butler's commentary vividly explains and displays the richness of the message. "The Gospel of John is not a collection of the experiences of Christ but a careful selection of material to support the opening text of John regarding the identity of Christ." says Butler. He continues, "Whether or not you believe this introduction is a litmus test of your faith." This commentary will enlighten and inspire a deeper faith and awe for Jesus—as Word, Son and Savior. This volume goes way beyond the basics and is insightful for both pastors and laypersons alike.

This [Analytical Bible Expositor series] is absolutely the best commentary series Logos could ever put into production...I have all of his other resources in print & they are absolutely vital to my Bible study. They are the most truthful, uncompromising gems I've ever read. After consulting the Bible text itself, my next step is always Butler.

“One of the greatest passages in the Bible is the first five verses of the Gospel of John. It shows Christ’s relationship to God, the galaxies and the Gospel. You must get the subject of these five verses correct if your doctrine is to be correct. The time covered in these first five verses is from before time began (creation of the universe) all the way to the victory of Christ on the earth in the future.” (Page 9)
“The need for water reminds us that even though we are doing the will of God, we often need to stop and be replenished in our physical bodies. Failure to take good care of the body physically can hinder and even cut short your service for God.” (Page 58)
“This text does not prescribe how to be saved but gives the proof of salvation. If one is truly saved they will ‘continue in my word.’ They will not fade away after a few weeks, but the Word of God will have a strong grip on their hearts.” (Page 133)

“This woman knows some vital things about Christ. She knows, as an example, that He is the Messiah (‘Christ’) and that He is omniscient (‘told me all things that ever I did’). This knowledge of Christ enabled her to witness intelligently. You cannot be a witness for Christ if you do not know Him.” (Page 62)
