This is an alternative commentary, concise, up-to-date, readable, and engaging the biblical text as a cross-cultural encounter. It both acknowledges the distance and difference of John's Gospel from our contemporary world as well as highlighting its proximity and relevance. The commentary explores John's special emphases, imagery, and distinctive creativity in portraying Jesus' significance in a way that is able to address a universal audience. The volume includes a new translation of the full text of the Gospel and is written for those with faith seeking an informed understanding of the past and a critical appreciation of its abiding relevance. It can serve for both individual and group use.
