The Gospel According to John

While synthesizing well-established commentators as diverse as Bultmann and Brown Brodie expands Johannine studies in two directions. First by drawing on the techniques of contemporary literary studies he shows that John''s Gospel far from being poorly edited is a carefully-wrought unity. Second he shows that the final basis of this unity lies not in history or theology but as ancient tradition suggested in spirituality. Brodie also includes his own innovative translation of John. The result is a new type of commentary that is thoroughly contemporary in style perspective and method.
