Commentary on the Gospel of John: With a Critical Introduction, vol. 1

The importance of the study of the Gospel of John and its enormous impact on theology compelled Godet to write this lengthy and detailed commentary. Given its clear distinction from the Synoptic Gospels, John’s Gospel became an easy target for historical criticism and modernist theology—making Godet’s defense of its divine inspiration all the more urgent. This volume contains an introduction to the authorship issue, the history of Johannine authenticity, the dating of composition, and a broad survey of all exegetical, interpretive, and historical material on the Gospel of John. This volume concludes with a detailed exposition of the first chapter of John.
