The Gospel According to John: A Theological Commentary - Paperback

New in the Eerdmans Classic Biblical Commentaries collection

In this commentary on John--originally published in Dutch in 1987 and translated into English a decade later--Herman Ridderbos engages the host of twentieth-century interpretations while also developing his own integral understanding of John in which the Gospel emerges as a profoundly theological work.

Beginning with a theological introduction on "the peculiar character of the Fourth Gospel," Ridderbos uses verse-by-verse exposition to unpack John's distinctive apostolic character, offering expert literary and homiletical exegesis of the Fourth Gospel "as the Christian church adopted it."
