Annotations on the Gospel according to St. John (The Lutheran Commentary)
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
The most organic of the Gospels, John provides a towering literary importance in the New Testament, one in which The Lutheran Commentary aims to draw attention to. Adolph Spaeth sets forth his commentary on the Gospel of John as one continuous argument—evidenced by his style and language—based on homiletic exposition rather than hermeneutic.
