The Gospel according to John

<DIV><I>New in the Eerdmans Classic Biblical Commentaries collection</I><BR /><BR /> 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.<BR /><BR /> 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.”</DIV>
