C. K. Barrett’s The Gospel According to St. John: An Introduction With Commentary and Notes on the Greek Text, long recognized as a major contribution to biblical and theological studies, has become the standard work in the field. His comprehensive introduction to the Gospel deals not only with questions of date and authorship, but also with its theology and its place in developing Christian thought and institutional life. This is followed by a detailed commentary that explains John’s language and provides a thorough exegesis of his text.
