COMMENTARIES THAT
CAN BE BORROWED FROM
ARCHIVE.ORG

Explanation - The following list includes not only commentaries but other Christian works by well known evangelical writers. Most of the resources below are newer works (written after 1970) which previously were available only for purchase in book form or in a Bible computer program. The resources are made freely available by archive.org but have several caveats - (1) they do not allow copy and paste, (2) they can only be checked out for one hour (but can be checked out immediately when your hour expires giving you time to read or take notes on a lengthy section) and (3) they require creating an account which allows you to check out the books free of charge. To set up an account click archive.org and then click the picture of the person in right upper corner and enter email and a password. That's all you have to do. Then you can read these more modern resources free of charge! I have read or used many of these resources but not all of them so ultimately you will need to be a Berean (Acts 17:11+) as you use them. I have also selected works that are conservative and Biblically sound. If you find one that you think does not meet those criteria please send an email at https://www.preceptaustin.org/contact. For hundreds of other commentaries and books that can be borrowed see Christian Commentaries Online. 

IMPORTANT CAVEAT - As these resources have become more popular over the last year, many times you will click on a book and it will say "UNAVAILABLE" which means that someone else has it checked out. And if they keep re-checking it out after their allotted hour, it may remain unavailable for a long time. There are a couple of "Work arounds" I have used in those cases. (1) If I know the exact quote I want to read, I do a search on that specific book on archive.org taking care to put a portion of the quote in quotation marks. That will usually allow you to read that page plus one other page. If it does not come up try using only one or two distinctive words in that quote. (2) Alternatively,  I will search on a word that I know will be on almost every page of the book. E.g., take the commentary by John Stott on The Epistles of John. Let's say it was unavailable. I did a search on the word "John" and retrieved over 500 hits which allows me to access most of the book. This does not always work and you make need to experiment. Otherwise you have to wait until the book becomes available.

The Gospel according to John  (1990) - Donald A Carson. Eerdmans Publishing Co. One of the top rated commentaries on John.

Throughout this commentary Carson attempts to make clear the flow of the biblical writer's thoughts. He focuses on movement rather than word studies or syntax. He attempts to assess the value of a small but vital literary corpus on this gospel, and in some respects he charts a course for future studies of a similar genre. Includes some seminal thoughts on the contribution of John's Gospel toward the development of biblical and systematic theology.

The Farewell Discourse and Final Prayer of Jesus: An Exposition of John 14-17. BORROW Carson, Donald A.  Grand Rapids: Baker Book House, 1980. Brief, pertinent expository studies on a vital section of John's gospel. Combines exegesis with a timely exposition of the truth.

The Gospel according to John : the English text with introduction, exposition and notes (1971) - Leon Morris - New International Commentary on the New Testament - Excellent

Reflections on the Gospel of John by Leon Morris - 776 pages (2000)

Studies in the fourth Gospel by Leon Morris - 377 pages (1969) This is not his commentary in the NICNT, but his writing are always generally excellent. One user writes "This volume concerns controversies over authorship, date, and theological questions that Leon Morris deliberately didn't address in his full commentary."

The Gospel According to John : An Introduction and Commentary (2008) - Colin Kruse 404 pages

Note this is not his more detailed work in the Pillar Commentary Series but his shorter work in the Tyndale NT Commentary Series. See reviews although I think these are primarily on the newer edition (2017). They should still give you a good idea of the value of his original edition. 

John : The Gospel of Belief - An Analytic Study of the Text - Merrill Tenney (1959)

The Expositor's Bible Commentary - 1994 edition - Abridged - The comments on John are authored by Merrill Tenney

Exposition of the Gospel according to John by Hendriksen, William, 1900-1982 (1953) 526 pages  19 ratings. I find this commentary very useful. 

Rosscup - Trained in the Christian Reformed tradition, Hendriksen is thoroughly conservative and believes in plenary verbal inspiration. He served for ten years as Professor of New Testament Literature in Calvin Seminary. His introductions are quite extended and carefully written. In his commentary, which is very usable, he first presents a brief synthetic outline of a section, follows up with a detailed discussion verse-by-verse, then gives a survey of the argument in that section. His footnote discussions show a wide breadth of reading. He is usually quite helpful on problems, Greek word meanings, and matters of history, culture or geography. There are many stimulating sermon hints and devotional thoughts. He is good in presenting several different views to a question and documenting them thoroughly. He is amillennial in matters pertaining to the kingdom (cf. his comment on 10:16 as well as his book More Than Conquerors, pp. 222ff.). Though the author is very helpful in the Greek, the manner of discussion can be extremely valuable to the layman.

John - Life Application Commentary - Bruce Barton, et al. (1993) 468 pages  33 ratings Comments are not long but conservative often with excellent application points.

John: Life Application Bible Studies - 125 pages - study notes - not the same as the resource above.

Life Application Study Bible : New Living Translation. Has some very helpful notes. 4,445 ratings

 

The Gospel of John: by Bruce, F. F. (1994) 444 pages Grace Theological Journal - "A gold mine for the reader who desires to pursue the argument of the Gospel from the standpoint of the best of present-day scholarship." Rosscup ranks this the #4 (out of 8) best exegetical commentary. 

Rosscup - Bruce gives a fresh translation of the Greek, much good commentary, a copious use of current literature, and application. Clarity prevails as he offers help for pastors, seminarians and lay people. At times, however, his vocabulary will mystify those not trained in languages, e. g. “sotto voce,” p. 174; “ingressive sense of the aorist,” p. 246, etc. Overall it is a very fine commentary by one of the leading evangelicals of recent decades.

John : the gospel of light and life by Hillis, Don W  15 ratings - highly rated by users. Note this is not a commentary but a guided study with questions on many verses followed by a "test" (True/False) - Might be useful if you have never studied John. Also might be helpful to someone teaching (even preaching) John as it gives suggested questions. 

John - The NIV Application Commentary by Burge, Gary M., 1952- (2000) 638 pages 131 ratings or another source 16 ratings

Rosscup - A Wheaton College professor seeks to interpret John in its Jewish flavor, i.e. with sensitivity to the OT rooting and Palestinian Judaism of Jesus’ day. He uses such materials to see the Messianic aspects. Burge offers different views on some of the problems, such as “water and Spirit” in 3:6, and Peter’s responses in 21:15–17. He gives background custom as for the events of the festival when Jesus invited drinking from Him (7:37–39), and footwashing in chap. 13. This does not mean that in all verses comments are adequate (cf. 15:2, 6, for example) to nail details down distinctly, or look at views. Since this series often just sums up passages, remarks on some verses can be difficult and slow to be located, or at times not be there due to the generalities. Some key verses are handled too quickly, or only partially (cf. 10:28, 29). The comments are sufficient at times, but not consistently enough to put the work among the more dependable.

John: the Gospel of Life by Burge, Gary M., (2008) 148 pages - This is a study guide not a commentary. 

Interpreting the fourth Gospel by Burge, Gary (1996) 196 pages - A Guide to New Testament Exegesis. Not a commentary, but an interesting resource. For example on page 125 there is lengthy discussion on Word Studies in John including a section entitled "Fundamental Rules of Word Study." and another entitled "Common Johannine Word Study Errors."

Interpreting the Gospel of John : a practical guide by Burge, Gary M., (2013) 244 pages - Apparently the revised edition of the resource directly above. 

Exploring the Gospel of John. Phillips, John Grand Rapids: Kregel, 2001.

First published in 1988. Ably blends the history of the 1st century A.D. with Christ’s teaching. Holds the interest of lay readers. A devout exposition.

Light in the darkness : studies in the Gospel of John by Kent, Homer Austin (1974) 244 pages  2 ratings Rosscup ranks this is the #2 most useful expositional commentary on John. 

Rosscup - Kent’s paragraph-by-paragraph survey of John’s Gospel deals with some of the main problem areas in exposition. It is geared to be a guide for personal or group study. Kent utilizes photographs, maps, and diagrams. It is a good expositional survey by an evangelical (former President, Grace Theological Seminary, Winona Lake, IN).

Gospel of John. 2 vols. in 1. Van Doren, William Howard Grand Rapids: Kregel Publications, 1981.

"If men who read this volume do not preach the better for so doing, it is not Mr. Van Doren's fault; they must be Van Dolts by nature, though they may ignore the family name" (Charles H. Spurgeon).

The Gospel according to St. John : an introduction and commentary by Tasker, R. V. G. 1 ratings 

Evangelical Commentary on the Bible - editor Walter Elwell (1989) 1239 pages. User reviews.  Burge, Gary. “John,” in Evangelical Commentary 

James Rosscup - Although brief, Burge shows awareness of issues and often uses his space well to provide help.

The Theology of John.  Chicago: Moody Press, 1979. 

Cyril Barber - A detailed examination of Johannine literature covering all the major areas of thought. A worthy contribution to this area of biblical theology. Recommended.

Anatomy of the Fourth Gospel : a study in literary design by Culpepper, R. Alan

Cyril Barber - Competent interdisciplinary studies in English are rare. This one explores John and makes ample use of modern redactional works to highlight the poetics, narrative structure, and other aspects of the gospel. The result is a stimulating, scholarly work

The Beloved Disciple ... his name, his story, his thought : two studies from the Gospel of John by Eller, Vernard

Cyril Barber - An informative and unorthodox approach to the authorship and theology of the fourth gospel. With tongue-in-cheek Eller uses the techniques of Sherlock Holmes to unravel the mystery of authorship. His conclusion will surprise some and irritate others. A lively discussion.

The Gospel of John; an exposition by Erdman, Charles R.

Rosscup - Concise treatments are given to each of the N. T. books. The main value of the set lies in its clear synthesis which helps the student grasp the flow of thought as he moves through a book. Erdman possessed a lucid writing style. He was amillennial.

A guide to John's Gospel by Guthrie, Donald 

Cyril Barber - In order to promote more expositional study of the biblical text--especially among lay persons--Guthrie has prepared this collection of outlines on the Gospel of John. While his aim is to lay bare what the text actually says, his guiding purpose is to assist Christians understand how Scripture may be applied to their lives. To achieve this goal, Guthrie has divided John's gospel into sections. His knowledge of the NT is incisive, and his skill as a Bible teacher places all readers in his debt. This is an extremely helpful little volume and is as concise as it is relevant. Recommended.

John, the gospel of faith by Harrison, Everett Falconer, 1902- from Everyman's Bible Commentary series. Conservative, but not too much depth.

 

John: That You May Believe Gospel of John 1-10. by Hughes, R. Kent Wheaton, IL: Crossway, 1999. An expositional commentary of rare excellence. Covers the theme of John’s gospel in the best evangelical tradition. Designed for lay people.

Behold the Man (Expository Studies in the Gospel of John 11-21) by Hughes, R. Kent (1984) 184 pages Rosscup ranks Hughes work on John's Gospel #3 (out of 6) in the devotional category. 

Cyril Barber on Hughes' work "John: That you May Believe" - An expositional commentary of rare excellence. Covers the theme of John’s gospel in the best evangelical tradition. Designed for lay people.

 

Behold the Man (Expository Studies in the Gospel of John 11-21) by Hughes, R. Kent (1984) 184 pages Rosscup ranks Hughes work on John's Gospel #3 (out of 6) in the devotional category. 

Cyril Barber on Hughes' related work "John: That you May Believe" - An expositional commentary of rare excellence. Covers the theme of John’s gospel in the best evangelical tradition. Designed for lay people.

 

Abiding in Christ: Studies in John 15.  Rosscup, James E.Grand Rapids: Zondervan Publishing House, 1973.

Cyril Barber  An in-depth discussion of the apostle's teaching on abiding in Christ. Contains a full presentation of the problems and shows clearly the Christian's responsibility to live in love and obedience to the Lord.

Encountering John : the Gospel in historical, literary, and theological perspective by Köstenberger, Andreas J.,

Cyril Barber (on Kostenberger's "Exegetical Commentary on the NT") This commentary follows several other works on John’s Gospel written by Kostenberger. The writer treats this canonical book as historically reliable, the product of careful composition, that sets forth Christ as the Son of God in a way that would lead readers to faith in Him. A scholarly production.

The Gospel of John by Michaels, J. Ramsey - New International Biblical Commentary - Mathison writes "preachers may want to consult the commentaries by" and then mentions this author. 

John by Fredrikson, Roger (The Communicator's Commentary) - now published as the Preacher's Commentary. 4.9/5 stars. These are generally helpful for preaching as they often have illustrations, etc. Read some of the glowing reviews = 10 ratings or reviews.

Or here = The Communicator's Commentary. John - identical to above

The Gospel according to John : the English text with introduction, exposition and notes by Morris, Leon 1 rating Rosscup ranks this is the #5 most useful exegetical commentary on John.

Cyril Barber - A work of superlative scholarship that not only replaces the majestic work by Westcott but surpasses Barrett as well. 

 

Secrets of the Spirit by Stedman, Ray C (1977) 164 pages = Also present online at this link. - PDF's of the 12 sermons in this series giveiin in 1973 at Peninsula Bible Church. Entire series, one html file or one Adobe Acrobat .pdf file

Cyril Barber - As an exposition of Christ's "last will and testament," these studies of John 14-16 ably treat the events that took place on the eve of the crucifixion

Preaching the Gospel of John : proclaiming the living Word by Williamson, Lamar. 347 pages. See Ratings - Interesting format - not a classic commentary. A quick review suggests it might have some helpful hints on preaching the texts. 

Christ the liberator by Stott, John R. W

James Rosscup - This book has other messages at Urbana, 1970, but Stott’s expositions on John 13–17 fill the first 89 pages. In the opinion of the reviewer, they are some of the best ever published with respect to coming right to grips with the message for Christians in a concise focus. Stott is well-organized in elucidating the passage, and he brings key issues out clearly in their application to spiritual living and representing Christ in the world.

Insights on John by Swindoll, Charles R (2010) 376 pages  214 ratings

Logos.com - Insights on John, volume two in the landmark Swindoll's New Testament Insights series, provides a wealth of colorful, detailed, and easy-to-understand insights into the gospel of John. Drawing on his vast experience as a communicator of God's Word, Chuck Swindoll presents his legacy to all who read and love the Bible.

Following Christ ... the man of God : a study of John 6-14 by Swindoll, Charles (2000) 132 pages

The Gospel of John: Believe and Live (21st Century Biblical Commentary Series) by Towns, Elmer L (2002) 264 pages  47 ratings

Cyril Barber - This book is the fruit of the author's "lifelong love affair with the gospel of John." Through word studies from the Greek text, Towns presents the immense riches to be found in John's unique message. He explains that "John's ultimate purpose is that his readers will believe the record of the life and death of the Son of God and receive eternal life."

The Complete Biblical library / Vol. 5 : Part 1, New Testament : Study Bible, John - interesting resource. Includes interlinear and commentary notes. 

Believe in Miracles but Trust in Jesus by Rogers, Adrian - This is not a commentary on John but does have chapters dealing with some of Jesus' miracles in John - The Possibility of Miracles, The Problem with Miracles. Water to Wine (John 2), Nobleman's Son Healed (John 4), Healing the Impotent Man (John 5), Feeding the 5000 (John 6), Calming the Storm (John 6), Opening Blind Eyes (John 9), Raising Lazarus (John 11), The Maximum Miracle (John 20:30-31). I will guarantee you that if you are preaching or teaching on any of the preceding chapters in John, you will glean many "pearls" from Dr Rogers' discussion. I give it "6 out of 5 stars!"  42 ratings

Searching for Identity. Barber, Cyril Chicago: Moody Press, 1975. Thirteen studies based on men and women in John's gospel. The writer integrates psychology with theology as he expounds the text. Designed for individual or group use.

Secrets of the Spirit. Stedman, Ray C Old Tappan, N .J.: Fleming H. Revell Co., 1975.

Cyril Barber - As an exposition of Christ's "last will and testament," these studies of John 14-16 ably treat the events that took place on the eve of the crucifixion.

Stedman, Ray C., God’s Loving Word: Exploring John’s Gospel. Grand Rapids: Discovery House Publishers, 1993. This exposition is one that is worthy of the highest praise. Stedman’s expository skills are legendary, his style is plain, his devotional thoughts are rich, and his doctrine is impeccable. Those who read this book thoughtfully will be richly blessed beyond their expectations. Based on the text of the NIV. Highly recommended (Click for Expositions)

Commentary on John by Whitelaw, Thomas

Cyril Barber - Formerly published as the Gospel of St. John. A verse-by-verse exposition with homiletic hints. Seminal. Evangelical.

Be alive  (John 1-12): Get to Know the Living Savior by Wiersbe, Warren (1986) 160 pages.  277 ratings

Logos.com - As he studied and wrote this book, Dr. Warren Wiersbe "felt like a man standing on holy ground." For he realized all the more the truth of the statement of the great Greek scholar Dr. A. T. Robertson: The Gospel of John is "the profoundest book in the world." In Be Alive, Dr. Wiersbe presents the basic teachings of the first twelve chapters of John's Gospel and urges readers to approach its truths with the hearts and minds of worshipers. Come to better know the living Savior and... BE ALIVE!

Be transformed (John 13-21): Christ's Triumph Means Your Transformation by Wiersbe, Warren (1986) 160 pages. 377 ratings

Logos.com - Yes, they became transformed men, those original disciples. In the opening chapters of John's Gospel, you see a group of men who were struggling with their faith and occasionally stumbling. But after Christ's death and resurrection, things changed--because they became transformed by His power and His Word. In completing his study of John's Gospel (see Be Alive for John 1-12). Dr. Warren Wiersbe explains how you can become a transformed person. He answers such important questions as:

• How does the Holy Spirit work in my life?
• What are the secrets of answered prayer?
• Why is Christian fellowship so important?
• How can I overcome the pressures of the world?

"But as many as received Him, to them gave the power to become..." (John 1:12). This is your invitation to personal transformation and triumph!

The Bible exposition commentary by Wiersbe, Warren W - All NT books in one source. Excellent. Or here

Rosscup - One of America’s most appreciated staunchly evangelical Bible conference teachers gives diligent, refreshing expositions. These are all of his 23 separate, earlier books in the “Be” series on the New Testament. He strikes a particular appeal with lay people as he crystallizes sections, deals with some of the verses, handles certain problems and backgrounds and applies principles. He is premillennial.

Windows on the parables by Wiersbe, Warren

Interpreting the parables by Blomberg, Craig

The Gospel of John - William Barclay - Be aware of some questions about his orthodoxy!   (critique) While William Barclay often has very insightful Greek word studies, the Berean-like reader (Acts 17:11) needs to be aware that he does hold some very unorthodox beliefs. See on site comments and also see article on The Enigmatic William Barclay"

John by Beasley-Murray, George Raymond, - Word Biblical Commentary - gets about 4/5 stars. 

One readers review - Given the comprehensiveness of most volumes in the Word series, one would expect more from this volume. It isn't bad by any stretch, but far less detailed and thorough than I had wanted. I don't see much in this which isn't available from other commentaries on John.

The Gospel of John by Witherington, Ben, III,  13 ratings - Read some of the ratings to get an idea of the nature of this book. 

God, are you there? (Do You Care? Do You Know About Me?) by Arthur, Kay (1994) 246 pages.  61 ratings This is not a commentary but a guide to study of the Gospel of John, and one of the best guides available. If you want to meet Jesus or introduce him to someone who is willing to study the Gospel of John with you, this book is for you. You will be guided through the Gospel using inductive Bible study methods by one of the premier inductive teachers of our generation. This would also be an excellent book for small group Bible study of John. You will not be disappointed and hopefully you can use it to see another soul brought into the Kingdom by the Spirit and the Word in John's Gospel (Jn 20:31)!

Jehovah's Witnesses, Jesus Christ, and the Gospel of John by Bowman, Robert M

James Rosscup - He puts his focus on John 1:1, answering Jehovah’s Witnesses who have changed their line of argument from a few years ago. Bowman also deals with 8:58 and 20:28. For years Bowman has shown skill in refuting cultic error as associate editor of Christian Research Journal and in other capacities.

Dictionary of Jesus and the Gospels IVP Series - This is the first edition, not the second edition published in 2013. This is worth checking out. Here is a sample on the entry for ABIDING...

ABIDING

As a common translation of the Greek verb menein, “to abide” has rich theological associations in the Fourth Gospel where 40 of the 112 NT occurrences of the verb occur (it appears another 26 times in the Epistles of John). It is used to communicate the enduring character of Christ*, and more importantly, when used with the preposition “in” and a personal object, it points to the relationship of mutual indwelling of the Father, the Son (see Son of God) and the believer.

1. Abiding As a Quality of Character

In the Greek OT menein, when used in a theological sense, most commonly speaks of the abiding character of God*. In contrast to the transitory nature of all things human, God remains, he endures, he is immutable. In the NT period this was considered to be a trait of the Messiah also, as evidenced by the crowds in John’s Gospel who say, “We have heard from the Law* that the Christ abides forever” (Jn 12:34). And John would have us know that Jesus is the Son who abides forever (Jn 8:35), who gives food that abides unto eternal life (Jn 6:27), and who enables one to produce fruit that abides (Jn 15:16).

In addition, in the first use of the verb in the Gospel, the Evangelist relates that John the Baptist (see John the Baptist) saw the Holy Spirit (see Holy Spirit) coming down from heaven* as a dove and remaining (emeinen) on Jesus (Jn 1:32). This was no momentary experience of the Spirit, perhaps like that of the judges or prophets*, but an enduring reality in Jesus’ life.

2. Abiding in Relationship

Of greater interest is the use in John’s Gospel of the phrase “to abide in” with a personal object to express the relationship of Jesus to the Father and both to believers. The priority must be given to Jesus’ mutual indwelling with the Father: “Don’t you believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I speak to you are not from myself, but the Father who abides in me does his work” (Jn 14:10). This is a dynamic relationship which energizes the ministry of Jesus. Out of this personal union come his words and his works which manifest the character of God. “Do not believe me unless I do what my Father does. But if I do it, even though you do not believe me, believe the miracles, that you may learn and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father” (Jn 10:37–38 NIV).

The Son obeys the Father and imitates the Father (Jn 5:19–20; 14:31), but the Father imparts his life to the Son (“I live because of the Father,” Jn 6:57; also Jn 5:26), and together they share this common life and are united in love (Jn 3:35; 5:20; 14:31; 15:10; 17:21–23). This relationship between the Father and the Son becomes the model and source of the relationship between Jesus and his disciples*.

Jesus called men and women into this relationship of mutual indwelling using the most graphic imagery: “He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me and I in him” (Jn 6:56). Just as the Father has loved Jesus, so Jesus has loved his disciples, and they are to abide in his love (Jn 15:9). Just as Jesus has remained in his Father’s love by obeying his commands (see Commandment), so the disciples are to abide in Jesus’ love by obeying his commands (Jn 15:10). And as they abide in him, Jesus will convey his life to them, even as a vine* gives life to its branches (Jn 15:4–6). His life will manifest itself in their lives as they bear fruit, even as his works were the work of his Father. Apart from him the disciples can do nothing, just as Jesus could do nothing apart from the Father (Jn 5:19, 30).

Jesus mediates to his disciples the relationship he enjoys with his heavenly Father. “Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me” (Jn 6:57 NIV). The one who loves Jesus will be loved by the Father, and together the Father and the Son will make their abode (monē—a cognate of menein) with him (Jn 14:23). “I have given them the glory* that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one: I in them and you in me” (Jn 17:22–23). This is the perfect unity that results from the mutual indwelling of the Father, the Son and the believers.

“Abiding in Christ” assumes the most intimate union possible. The identification of Jesus with the true vine (Jn 15:1), a symbol of Israel* (cf. Hos 10:1; Jer 2:21; Ps 80:9–12, 15–16; Is 5:7), in which the disciples are to abide, suggests a corporate dimension to his person that has important christological implications.

This union with Christ, however, must not be confused with ideas of the Hellenistic mystery cults (see Hellenism), some of which taught a loss of individuality or a pantheistic absorption of the believer into the being of the divine. The teaching of the Fourth Gospel maintains throughout a moral dimension that assumes individual responsibility. It is a relationship that always begins with the divine initiative, but which calls for a human response: “Abide in me … abide in my word … abide in my love” (Jn 15:4, 7, 9).

Dictionary of Paul and his letters   IVP Series

The Dictionary of Paul and His Letters is a one-of-a-kind reference work. Following the format of its highly successful companion volume, the Dictionary of Jesus and the Gospels, this Dictionary is designed to bring students, teachers, ministers and laypeople abreast of the established conclusions and significant recent developments in Pauline scholarship. No other single reference work presents as much information focused exclusively on Pauline theology, literature, background and scholarship. In a field that recently has undergone significant shifts in perspective, the Dictionary of Paul and His Letters offers a summa of Paul and Pauline studies. In-depth articles focus on individual theological themes (such as law, resurrection and Son of God), broad theological topics (such as Christology, eschatology and the death of Christ), methods of interpretation (such as rhetorical criticism and social-scientific approaches), background topics (such as apocalypticism, Hellenism and Qumran) and various other subjects specifically related to the scholarly study of Pauline theology and literature (such as early catholicism, the center of Paul's theology, and Paul and his interpreters since F. C. Baur). Separate articles are also devoted to each of the Pauline letters to hermeneutics and to preaching Paul today.

Dictionary of the later New Testament & its developments  IVP Series

The third of IVP's critically acclaimed series of dictionaries of the New Testament provides focused study on the often-neglected portions of the New Testament: Acts, Hebrews, the General Epistles, and Revelation. Furthermore, its scope goes beyond the life of the New Testament church to include the work of the apostolic fathers and early Christianity up through the middle of the second century.

Dictionary of New Testament background  IVP Series

 In a time when our knowledge of the ancient Mediterranean world has grown by leaps and bounds, this volume sets out for readers the wealth of Jewish and Greco-Roman background that should inform our reading and understanding of the New Testament and early Christianity. The Dictionary of New Testament Background takes full advantage of the flourishing study of the Dead Sea Scrolls and offers individual articles focused on the most important scrolls. In addition, the Dictionary encompasses the fullness of second-temple Jewish writings, whether pseudepigraphic, rabbinic, parables, proverbs, histories or inscriptions. Articles abound on aspects of Jewish life and thought, including family, purity, liturgy and messianism. The full scope of Greco-Roman culture is displayed in articles ranging across language and rhetoric, literacy and book culture, religion and cults, honor and shame, patronage and benefactors, travel and trade, intellectual movements and ideas, and ancient geographical perspectives. No other reference work presents so much in one place for students of the New Testament. Here an entire library of scholarship is made available in summary form. 

Dictionary of Biblical Imagery -  no restrictions (i.e., you do not need to borrow this book). Editors Leland Ryken, J C Wilhoit, Tremper Longman III -

This is a potential treasure chest to aid your preaching and teaching as it analyzes the meaning of a host of Biblical figures of speech. Allows copy and paste text. One downside is there is no index, so you need to search 3291 pages for entries which are alphabetical. 

Dictionary of deities and demons in the Bible (DDD) - 950 pages (1995) Read some of the 65 ratings (4.8/5 Stars). A definitive in depth resource on this subject. Very expensive to purchase.

HENRY ALFORD
Greek Testament Critical Exegetical Commentary
Gospel of John

Read Henry Alford's(1810-1871) fascinating brief biography and Phil Johnson's related comments.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon - Alford's Greek Testament “for the use of Theological Students and Ministers,” is an invaluable aid to the critical study of the text of the New Testament. You will find in it the ripened results of a matured scholarship, the harvesting of a judgment, generally highly impartial, always worthy of respect, which has gleaned from the most important fields of Biblical research, both modern and ancient, at home and abroad. You will not look here for any spirituality of thought or tenderness of feeling; you will find the learned Dean does not forget to do full justice to his own views, and is quite able to express himself vigorously against his opponents; but for what it professes to be, it is an exceedingly able and successful work. The later issues are by far the most desirable, as the author has considerably revised the work in the fourth edition. What I have said of his Greek Testament applies equally to ALFORD’S NEW TESTAMENT FOR ENGLISH READERS,* which is also a standard work. (Lectures to my Students, Vol. 4: Commenting and Commentaries; Lectures Addressed to the students of the Pastors' College, Metropolitan Tabernacle)

Editorial Note: If you are not proficient in Greek, you will find this work considerably more useful than the following work by Alford, because in this volume he translates the Greek and Latin into English. While the "The Greek New Testament" is longer (e.g., English version of 1John = 66 pages compared to Greek version = 94 pages in part because the latter includes comments of more technical nature), the substance of the commentary is otherwise similar to that found in the "NT for English Readers".

HENRY ALFORD
The New Testament for English Readers

James Rosscup writes that Alford's series on the New Testament "contains much that is valuable in the Greek New Testament...though all of the Greek New Testament words have been changed to English throughout." (Commentaries for Biblical Expositors)

JOHANN A BENGEL
Gnomon of the New Testament (1877)
Gospel of John Commentary

Note: If not proficient in Greek, see Critical English Testament below.

JOHANN (JOHN) BENGEL
The Critical English Testament
Gospel of John Commentary

Represents Combination of Bengel's Gnomon + Comments by other expositors (in brackets) to make this more useful for those who do not read Greek.

James Rosscup writes "This work (Gnomon), originally issued in 1742, has considerable comment on the Greek, flavoring the effort with judicious details about the spiritual life. It has much that helps....." (Commentaries for Biblical Expositors)

C H Spurgeon -- "'A Critical New Testament, so compiled as to enable a reader, unacquainted with Greek, to ascertain the exact English force and meaning of the language of the New Testament, and to appreciate the latest results of modern criticism.' Such is the professed aim of this commentary, and the compilers have very fairly carried out their intentions. The whole of Bengel’s Gnomon is bodily transferred into the work, and as one hundred and twenty years have elapsed since the first issue of that book, it may be supposed that much has since been added to the wealth of Scripture exposition; the substance of this has been incorporated in brackets, so as to bring it down to the present advanced state of knowledge. We strongly advise the purchase of this book, as it is multum in parvo, and will well repay an attentive perusal. Tischendorf and Alford have contributed largely, with other German and English critics, to make this one of the most lucid and concise commentaries on the text and teachings of the New Testament" (Lectures to my Students, Vol. 4: Commenting and Commentaries; Lectures Addressed to the students of the Pastors' College, Metropolitan Tabernacle)

DWIGHT L MOODY
"Notes from My Bible" 
Gospel of John 

Moody's notes although generally very brief are interesting to read and also profitable because they stimulate one to ponder or meditate on the chapter or verse to which his note applies. As you read Moody's notes, it will be fairly obvious that what he is writing down is based primarily on the inductive skill of careful Spirit enabled observation which leads him occasionally to make pithy intrepretations, an excellent pattern to imitate.

G CAMPBELL MORGAN

328 page commentary

D Edmond Hiebert review - A series of expository sermons by this noted expository Bible teacher. Valuable for the many insights into this gospel.. (An Introduction to the NT)

Rosscup - This is another of Morgan’s better works and is good on the English text, though expositionally not as helpful as Hendriksen, Laney, Phillips and Pink.  (Commentaries for Biblical Expositors)

CYRIL BARBER - The Minister's Library - his recommendations for your library from Volume 2 and Volume 3

• *Barber, Cyril John. Searching for Identity. BORROW Chicago: Moody Press, 1975. Thirteen studies based on men and women in John's gospel. The writer integrates psychology with theology as he expounds the text. Designed for individual or group use.
• Barrett, Charles Kingsley. Essays on John. Philadelphia: Westminster Press, 1982. A valuable collection of essays dealing with John's theology and vocabulary. Also discusses his symbolism and relationship to contemporary religious movements.
• *_______, The Gospel According to St. John: An Introduction with Commentary and Notes on the Greek Text. 2d ed. Philadelphia: Westminster Press, 1978. †An insightful work that must take its place among the best exegetical studies ever written on this portion of God's Word.
• _______, The Gospel of John and Judaism. Translated by D. M. Smith. Philadelphia: Fortress Press, 1975. This English edition of the 1967 Franz Delitzsch Lectures assesses, in the light of modern critical scholarship, the environment, purpose, language, and provenance of John's gospel as seen against the backdrop of Judaism during the first century A.D.
• Benware, Paul N. Luke: The Gospel of the Son of Man. Chicago: Moody Press, 1985. A brief, informative, and readable exposition-the kind laypeople should be encouraged to master. Helpful.
• *Bernard, Thomas Dehany. The Central Teaching of Christ: A Study of John 13-17. Minneapolis: Klock.& Klock Christian Publishers, 1985. This work made its debut in 1892. It contains the same "wonderful force and freshness that made The Progress of Doctrine in the New Testament justifiably famous. The book gives no sign of hastiness. All seems to be the outcome of years of reverent thought, now brought to light in the clearest, most telling way" (Cambridge Review). A must for every pastor.
• Blomberg, Craig L. The Historical Reliability of John’s Gospel: Issues and Commentary. Downers Grove, IL: IVP, 2001. The author advances evidence in support of the belief that the apostle John wrote the gospel that bears his name, and that what he wrote is historically accurate and reliable. He refutes the theories of those who claim that there are errors in this gospel and offers some interesting interpretations based on the customs of the times. (RELATED - BORROW The historical reliability of the Gospels)
• Boice, James Montgomery. The Gospel of John. 5 vols. in 1. Grand Rapids: Zondervan Publishing House, 1985. "Any expositor, beginner or veteran, will find this work useful not only in the realm of interpretation but also in applications, illustrations, and quotations" (Bibliotheca Sacra). The Gospel of John - Volume 1:John 1:1-4:54 - BORROW The Gospel of John - Volume 3 - John 9:1-12:50 BORROW
• *Brown, John. Exposition of Our Lord's Intercessory Prayer. Minneapolis: Klock and Klock Christian Publishers 1979. The concluding prayer of our Lord's in the Garden here receives sensitive treatment. Brown was a pastor as well as an exegete. His handling of the text is excellent. His exposition serves as a model. Recommended.
• Brown, Raymond Edward. The Community of the Beloved Disciple. New York: Paulist Press, 1979. †This resume of Johannine ecclesiology attempts to reconstruct the church of the first century with a view to gleaning principles that might be applied to the church today. The aim is praiseworthy; the writer's theological presuppositions, however, lead him wide of the truth. 
• Bruce, Frederick Fyvie. The Gospel of John: Introduction, Exposition and Notes. Grand Rapids: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co., 1983. Designed for the general Christian reader, this work grew out of studies that first appeared in The Bible Student, Bangalore, India. The translation is clear, and the comments, though brief, will prove valuable to preachers.
• Carson, Donald A. The Farewell Discourse and Final Prayer of Jesus: An Exposition of John 14-17. BORROW Grand Rapids: Baker Book House, 1980. Brief, pertinent expository studies on a vital section of John's gospel. Combines exegesis with a timely exposition of the truth.
• Carson, Donald A. Borrow The Gospel according to John Grand Rapids: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co., 1990. Throughout this commentary Carson attempts to make clear the flow of the biblical writer's thoughts. He focuses on movement rather than word studies or syntax. He attempts to assess the value of a small but vital literary corpus on this gospel, and in some respects he charts a course for future studies of a similar genre. Includes some seminal thoughts on the contribution of John's Gospel toward the development of biblical and systematic theology.
• *Cook, W. Robert. The Theology of John. BORROW Chicago: Moody Press, 1979. A detailed examination of Johannine literature covering all the major areas of thought. A worthy contribution to this area of biblical theology. Recommended.
• Cullmann, Oscar. The Johannine Circle. Translated by J. Bowden. Philadelphia: Westminster Press, 1976. †A new investigation into the origins of John's gospel. Cullmann advances a hypothesis concerning the problems of the origin, character, and setting of John's writing by suggesting that the "Johannine Circle" stood behind the gospel, influenced its composition, and maintained the concerns expressed by the apostle.
• Culpepper, R. Alan. Anatomy of the Fourth Gospel: A Study in Literary Design. Philadelphia: Fortress Press, 1983. †Competent interdisciplinary studies in English are rare. This one explores John and makes ample use of modern redactional works to highlight the poetics, narrative structure, and other aspects of the gospel. The result is a stimulating, scholarly work.
• Eller, Vernard. The Beloved Disciple: His Name, His Story, His Thought. Two Studies from the Gospel of John. Grand Rapids: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co., 1987. An informative and unorthodox approach to the authorship and theology of the fourth gospel. With tongue-in-cheek Eller uses the techniques of Sherlock Holmes to unravel the mystery of authorship. His conclusion will surprise some and irritate others. A lively discussion.
• Ellis, Edward Earle. The World of St. John: The Gospel and the Epistles. Grand Rapids: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co., 1984. First published in 1965. This brief monograph shows that John was a theologian in his own right with roots in primitive Christianity as deep as Paul's.
• *Godet, Frederic Louis. Commentary on John's Gospel. Grand Rapids: Kregel Publications, 1978. One of the finest expositions of John's gospel ever produced. No preacher should be without it. (Click here)
• Govett, Robert. Govett on John. 2 vols. in 1. Miami Springs, Fla.: Conley and Schoettle Publishing Co., 1984. First published in 1891. This careful exposition of approximately 1,000 pages combines sound theology with a clear presentation of the meaning of the text. It remains one of the best works produced during this era. Recommended.
• Guthrie, Donald. Exploring God's Word: A Guide to John's Gospel. Grand Rapids: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co., 1986. In order to promote more expositional study of the biblical text--especially among lay persons--Guthrie has prepared this collection of outlines on the Gospel of John. While his aim is to lay bare what the text actually says, his guiding purpose is to assist Christians understand how Scripture may be applied to their lives. To achieve this goal, Guthrie has divided John's gospel into sections. His knowledge of the NT is incisive, and his skill as a Bible teacher places all readers in his debt. This is an extremely helpful little volume and is as concise as it is relevant. Recommended.
• Haenchen, Ernst. John 1: A Commentary on the Gospel of John Chapters 1-6. Hermenia. Translated by R. W Funk. Edited by R. W Funk and U. Busse. Philadelphia: Fortress Press, 1984. †A work of impeccable scholarship. The introduction is full and complete. The comments on the text illumine as well as elucidate the theme of the writer. The bibliographies that preface each section are of the utmost value. This is a scholarly work and will be appreciated by the discerning reader.
• Haenchen, Ernst. John. 2 vols. Hermeneia. Trans. by R. W. Funk. Edited by R. W. Funk and U. Busse. Philadelphia: Fortress Press, 1984-86. This critical and historical commentary seeks to find similarity between John's writings and the Gnostic Gospels from Nag Hammadi. Haenchen uses these source materials to supposedly cast light on John the Baptist's thought and Christ's message. The exegetical information contained in these volumes is of the utmost value. The historical data, however, is unreliable.
• Harvey, Anthony Ernest. Jesus on Trial: A Study of the Fourth Gospel. Atlanta: John Knox Press, 1977. Uses the trial of Jesus-as conceived through its literary form and in terms of Jewish conventions-to cast light on the theme and composition of the fourth gospel.
• *Hengstenberg, Ernst Wilhelm. Commentary on the Gospel of St. John. 2 vols. Minneapolis: Klock & Klock Christian Publishers, 1980. Rich in grammatical and syntactical insights, this reverent and devout work ably treats the life and labors of Christ as recorded in John's gospel. A rewarding work that will handsomely repay the time spent reading it. (click here for the online version)
• Hughes, R. Kent. Behold the Man (Expository Studies in the Gospel of John 11-21) BORROW. Wheaton, Ill.: Victor Books, 1984. These studies based on John's gospel (covering chaps. 11-21) provide rich reflections on Christ's concluding months of ministry. The chapters are perceptive and revealing.
• Hughes, R. Kent. John: That You May Believe. Wheaton, IL: Crossway, 1999. An expositional commentary of rare excellence. Covers the theme of John’s gospel in the best evangelical tradition. Designed for lay people.
• Kent, Homer Austin, Jr. Light in the darkness : studies in the Gospel of John.  BORROW Grand Rapids: Baker Book House, 1974. This work adequately expounds the theme and content of John's gospel. Of value for use with groups.
• Kostenberger, Andreas J. John. Baker Exegetical Commentary on the New Testament. Grand Rapids: Baker, 2004. This commentary follows several other works on John’s Gospel written by Kostenberger. The writer treats this canonical book as historically reliable, the product of careful composition, that sets forth Christ as the Son of God in a way that would lead readers to faith in Him. A scholarly production.
• Laney, J. Carl. John. Moody Gospel Commentary (OR HERE). BORROW Chicago: Moody Press, 1992. A verse-by-verse commentary that adequately explains the meaning of each verse. Each Biblical chapter opens with a brief statement explaining John’s purpose for including the specific data within that chapter, and closes with a section labeled “Homiletic Suggestions.” These pages are filled with important insights.
• Lindars, Barnabas. The Gospel of John. New Century Bible. Greenwood, S.C.: Attic Press, 1973. †This work is by far the most extensive and also the most radical to have been published in this series thus far. Lindars claims that the only valid interpretation of John's gospel is an existential one. In consequence, he searches for meaning(s) behind the events recorded but fails to treat the incidents mentioned by John as literal happenings. Disappointing.
• Lutzer, Erwin Wesley. How to Have a Whole Heart in a Broken World. BORROW Wheaton, IL: Victor Books, 1987. Bases his counsel upon John 13-17. Provides his readers with a prescription for happy, healthy, fulfilling (if not trouble-free) living. Stimulating.
• Mahoney, Robert. Two Disciples at the Tomb: The Background and Message of John 20, 1-10. Bern, Switzerland: Herbert Lang, 1974. A scholarly, critical analysis that treats the burial pericope in the light of the synoptic gospels. Examines John's teaching from the position of later didactic intent rather than from the perspective of history. 226.5'06.20.M27 Marsh, John. Saint John. Westminster Pelican Commentaries. Philadelphia: Westminster Press, 1977. First published in England in 1968. This form-critical work contains an extensive introduction, a brief commentary, and evaluative notes covering problems in the text. Judicious.
• *Morris, Leon The Gospel According to john. New International Commentary on the New Testament. Grand Rapids: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co., 1971. A work of superlative scholarship that not only replaces the majestic work by Westcott but surpasses Barrett as well.  (from Cyril Barber's TML Volume 2)
• Morris, Leon Lamb. The Gospel According to John. Revised ed. New International Commentary on the New Testament. Grand Rapids: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co., 1995. First published in 1971. This timely exposition can only be described by words like “tremendous,” “indispensable,” and a ”blessing” to all who study it. The revision, though shorter than the original work, is based on the text of the NIV and contains modifications deemed necessary in light of recent research. It is a must for every pastor and expository preacher. (from Cyril Barber's TML Volume 3)
• Morris, Leon Lamb. Jesus is the Christ.: Studies in the Theology of John. Grand Rapids: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co., 1989. Designed for those who still question "Who is Jesus?" Argues convincingly that John's Gospel was written to show that the human Jesus is the Christ (or Messiah) as well as the Son of God. Morris believes that John's ultimate purpose in penning his gospel was evangelistic as well as theological. With those two foci in mind he develops a fine Johannine theology based upon John's writings.
• Morrison, George H. John. Chattanooga, Tenn.: AMG Publishers, 1978. Preachers will find these brief expository studies helpful. Each one is a masterpiece of the homiletic art. During his lifetime, Morrison's preaching attracted large crowds, and few who heard him remained unmoved.
• Newton, George. An Exposition of John 17. Carlisle, PA: Banner of Truth Trust, 1995. Reprinted from the 1867 edition. Newton (1602-1681) was one of the greatest preachers of his day. This present volume contains some of his most famous sermons.
• Peterson, Robert A. Getting to Know John's Gospel: A Fresh Look At Its Main Ideas. Phillipsburg, PA: Presbyterian and Reformed Publishing Co.,1989. Designed to introduce readers to the theme and purpose of the fourth gospel. Presents the material topically (which does not always lead to a fuller and deeper knowledge of the theme). Questions at the end of each chapter help readers internalize the information.
• Phillips, John. Exploring the Gospel of John. BORROW Grand Rapids: Kregel, 2001. First published in 1988. Ably blends the history of the 1st century A.D. with Christ’s teaching. Holds the interest of lay readers. A devout exposition.
• Phillips, John. Exploring the Gospels: John. Neptune, NJ: Loizeaux Brothers, 1988. Stephen F. Olford said of this work, "Phillips does not attempt to entertain with 'Biblical objectivism.' His book, through designed to aid our study of the Word of God, is also a call to holiness, prayerfulness, and fruitfulness of life in Christ."
• Plummer, Alfred. The Gospel According to St. John. Grand Rapids: Baker Book House, 1981. Published a century ago, this study of the Greek text of John's gospel first appeared in the Cambridge Greek Testament. It has now been superseded by more recent treatments.
• *Rainsford, Marcus. Our Lord Prays for His Own: Thoughts on John 17. Grand Rapids: Kregel Publications, 1985. In what is now regarded as "the greatest classic ever written on Christ's high priestly prayer for His people," Marcus Rainsford gives us a true masterpiece of both devotional and expository literature. The author deals with the "Holy of Holies" of Christ's earthly life. Those who prayerfully read it through will find ample reward in its exposition of doctrine and its application of truth to mind and heart. Here is, indeed, a timely, relevant, and practical exposition of John 17.
• Rensberger, David. Johannine Faith and Liberating Community. Philadelphia: Westminster Press, 1988. Rensberger poses the question, "What did the first readers of the Gospel of John see in it? Politics? Liberation?" He then probes behind the spiritual meaning and attempts to show that John's purpose was social, even political, and he interprets the gospel accordingly. He also uses new knowledge of the historical setting of John's writings to explore the Fourth Gospel, and from this induction he deduces principles for liberation theology in the world today.
• Ridderbos, Herman. The Gospel of John: A Theological Commentary. Trans. by J. Vriend. Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1997. One of the main features of this commentary is that it approaches John’s gospel, not primarily as a witness of the faith of Johannine community, but as a witness of the factual revelation of God in the coming and work of Jesus Christ. A scholarly work.
• *Rosscup, James E. Abiding in Christ: Studies in john 15. BORROW Grand Rapids: Zondervan Publishing House, 1973. An in-depth discussion of the apostle's teaching on abiding in Christ. Contains a full presentation of the problems and shows clearly the Christian's responsibility to live in love and obedience to the Lord.
• Scroggie, William Graham. The Gospel of John. Grand Rapids: Zondervan Publishing House, 1976. A clear analysis of John's theme, coupled with a lucid exposition of his purpose. Helpful, but overpriced.
• Segovia, Fernando R Love Relationships in the johannine Tradition: AgapelAgapan in I john and the Fourth Gospel. Chico, Calif: Scholars Press, 1982. An excellent discussion of love and its theology in the Johannine writings (excluding the Apocalypse). A revealing study.
• Smalley, Stephen S. John: Evangelist and Interpreter. Greenwood, S.C.: Attic Press, 1978. A scholarly work marked by independence of thought and a tendency to see too much of the Essenes and Gnostics in John's portrayal of Christ. Succeeds in alerting the reader to the depths of spiritual perception in John's writings, and for this reason is worth consulting.
• Smalley, Stephen S. Thunder and Love. Milton Keynes, England: Word Publishing, 1994. Contains the author’s studies on the interrelationship of John’s writings and the people to whom he ministered. Chapters focus on the character, origins, composition and background, unity and structure, purpose and interpretation of the Johannine corpus.
• Smith, Dwight Moody. Johannine Christianity: Essays on its Setting, Sources, and Theology. Columbia, S.C.: University of South Carolina Press, 1984. †Scholarly essays dealing with the sources, relation to the synoptics, and theology of the Johannine writings. Each essay is a model of scholarship.
• *Stedman, Ray C. Secrets of the Spirit. BORROW Old Tappan, N .J.: Fleming H. Revell Co., 1975. As an exposition of Christ's "last will and testament," these studies of John 14-16 ably treat the events that took place on the eve of the crucifixion.
• Stedman, Ray C., God’s Loving Word: Exploring John’s Gospel. BORROW Grand Rapids: Discovery House Publishers, 1993. This exposition is one that is worthy of the highest praise. Stedman’s expository skills are legendary, his style is plain, his devotional thoughts are rich, and his doctrine is impeccable. Those who read this book thoughtfully will be richly blessed beyond their expectations. Based on the text of the NIV. Highly recommended (Click for Expositions)
• Strombeck, John Frederick. Grace and Truth: The True Relationship Between Law and Grace. Grand Rapids: Kregel Publications, 1991. First published in 1939. These studies are based on the teaching of John’s gospel. “Here is the most unusual and convincing presentation of a great Bible theme that is all too little understood by the majority of Christians. Strombeck has given us the simplest kind of study running through practically the entire Gospel of John, and has brought out in a most telling and inescapable manner a fact which probably few others have discovered--that in every chapter of this wonderful Gospel the striking contrast between law and grace, between faith and works, is emphasized.”-- The Sunday School Times.
• Towns, Elmer L. The Gospel of John: Believe and Live. BORROW Old Tappan, NJ: Fleming H. Revell Company, 1990. This book is the fruit of the author's "lifelong love affair with the gospel of John." Through word studies from the Greek text, Towns presents the immense riches to be found in John's unique message. He explains that "John's ultimate purpose is that his readers will believe the record of the life and death of the Son of God and receive eternal life."
• Van Doren, William Howard. Gospel of John. 2 vols. in 1. Grand Rapids: Kregel Publications, 1981. "If men who read this volume do not preach the better for so doing, it is not Mr. Van Doren's fault; they must be Van Dolts by nature, though they may ignore the family name" (Charles H. Spurgeon).
• Vanderlip, George. Christianity According to John. Philadelphia: Westminster Press, 1975. A study of the theology of John's gospel. The author bases his material on recent scholarship but does not maintain a consistent evangelical position.
• Whitelaw, Thomas. Commentary on John. Grand Rapids: Kregel Publications, 1993. Formerly published as the Gospel of St. John. A verse-by-verse exposition with homiletic hints. Seminal. Evangelical.

GARY M. BURGE

• John, Theology of - Baker's Evangelical Dictionary of Biblical Theology
• John: the Gospel of Life by Burge, Gary M., (2008) 148 pages - This is a study guide not a commentary. (BORROW)

• John - The NIV Application Commentary by Burge, Gary M., 1952- (2000) 638 pages (BORROW THIS BOOK)

  Rosscup - A Wheaton College professor seeks to interpret John in its Jewish flavor, i.e. with sensitivity to the OT rooting and Palestinian Judaism of Jesus’ day. He uses such materials to see the Messianic aspects. Burge offers different views on some of the problems, such as “water and Spirit” in 3:6, and Peter’s responses in 21:15–17. He gives background custom as for the events of the festival when Jesus invited drinking from Him (7:37–39), and footwashing in chap. 13. This does not mean that in all verses comments are adequate (cf. 15:2, 6, for example) to nail details down distinctly, or look at views. Since this series often just sums up passages, remarks on some verses can be difficult and slow to be located, or at times not be there due to the generalities. Some key verses are handled too quickly, or only partially (cf. 10:28, 29). The comments are sufficient at times, but not consistently enough to put the work among the more dependable.

FREDERIC GODET

Rosscup - A good scholar is at his best here. He is exhaustive and excellent, though this work is old.  (Commentaries for Biblical Expositors)

E W HENGSTENBERG

• Commentary on the Gospel of John Volume 1 (John 1-8)
• Commentary on the Gospel of John Volume 2 (John 9-21)

Rosscup - This work, recently reprinted, has much judicious material tying the thought to Old Testament background theology. At times it is very provocative (cf. on Jn. 1:15, 30, “He is preferred before me,” italics mine). Hengstenberg is one of the towering older names, well-known for Christology of the Old Testament, for example.  (Commentaries for Biblical Expositors)

Cyril Barber - Rich in grammatical and syntactical insights, this reverent and devout work ably treats the life and labors of Christ as recorded in John's gospel. A rewarding work that will handsomely repay the time spent reading it.

ALVAH HOVEY

• Commentary on the Gospel of John (1885)

Verse by verse and even phrase by phrase - well written and easy to understand.

D Edmond Hiebert review - Greek text.  A full verse-by-verse exposition of John by an accomplished conservative Baptist scholar of the past century. Still valuable for its unfolding of the meaning of the text.(An Introduction to the NT)

Logos.com - Articulating the distinctive characteristics of the Gospel of John, Alvah Hovey exegetically examines the text. Drawing upon notes from John A. Broadus for clarification in the margins, Hovey provides historical-critical method and inquiry into the text.

The Homiletic Review - The scholarship  of Dr. Hovey, the general editor...is a guarantee of the superior character and worth of the commentary as a whole.

The Treasury: An Evangelical Monthly for Pastor and People writes - Thorough scholarship, clear theological views, well chosen words, and the most careful editing.

• Introduction -50 pages John 1 John 2 John 3 John 4 John 5 John 6 John 7 John 8 John 9 John 10 John 11 John 12 John 13 John 14 John 15 John 16 John 17 John 18 John 19 John 20 John 21

D Edmond Hiebert review - Greek text. A 180-page introduction, in which the author rejects the traditional view of authorship, deals fully with the critical problems. The commentary is based on the author's rearrangement of the text of the gospel. Valuable for the discerning advanced student. (An Introduction to the NT)

Rosscup -   Bernard, J. A. Gospel According to St. John (International Critical Commentary). Edinburgh: T. & T. Clark, 1928. A liberal work, now outdated as to literature but long held in high esteem on critical and exegetical matters.

D Edmond Hiebert review - Lightfoot's primary concern is to exegete the text of the gospel. The text is divided into large units which are followed by a careful exposition. There are also notes on the text dealing with textual, critical, and interpretative matters. The introduction, reworked by the editor, adds to the value of the volume. (An Introduction to the NT)

D Edmond Hiebert review - One of the classical commentaries on John. Still richly rewarding in spite of its age. An admirable presentation of the conservative position. (An Introduction to the NT)

James Rosscup - This is a reprint of a 1908 work which used to be generally regarded as the classic commentary on John. Westcott, born in England in 1825, studied at Dublin and was called “in learning a second Origen, in piety a second Augustine.” He teamed with F. J. A. Hort to labor 28 years in producing the famous Greek New Testament. He was conservative and Calvinistic. His knowledge of Greek was extensive, and he uses Greek and Latin in his comments. This plus his involved thinking at times makes it rather difficult for many to follow him. This is a good work to consult in any thorough study of John, and the student who wants to build his library with the best will not pass it by. (Commentaries for Biblical Expositors)

Renner writes "I've often heard Christians ask, "I wonder what it must have been like to walk with Jesus. Wouldn't it be wonderful to walk with Him and to hear His voice and talk to Him?" But believers who ask these kinds of questions don't understand the ministry of the Holy Spirit. If they did, they'd know that having the Holy Spirit with them is just like having Jesus right at their side! Because Jesus was about to depart from the world, He knew it was absolutely essential that the disciples learn how to rely entirely on the Spirit of God and to follow His leadership. Therefore, Jesus used His last moments to teach the disciples how to follow the Holy Spirit's leadership in the same way they had followed Him."

In fact, Jesus performed so many miracles that the apostle John said, "And there were also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written" (John 21:25).

JOSEPH PARKER
The People's Bible
Commentary on the Gospel of John

A. W. PINK
Exposition of the Gospel of John

Caveat - Although Pink's expositions are often excellent, one must be aware that he frequently invokes typological interpretations which are somewhat "strained" in the opinion of other expositors. Therefore while the works of A W Pink are listed, the reader should keep a Berean mindset (Acts 17:11+) when using them. See also the notes on Pink under "Commentaries" and in the discussion of Supernaturalistic interpretation. 

D Edmond Hiebert review - A full treatment of John's gospel by a Calvinistic Bible teacher who was also a voluminous author. It seeks to unfold the meaning of the text and apply it to the daily life of the believer. Rich in spiritual content. Avoids the technical and aims at the practical. (An Introduction to the NT)

James Rosscup - Before his death in 1952, Pink was a voluminous writer for the magazine, Studies in the Scriptures, which was published for 31 years. His expositions are non-technical and clearly intended for lay readers. Textual problems are for the most part untreated, but Pink does grapple seriously with doctrinal difficulties. He is conservative, Calvinistic, and switched from dispensationalism to amillennialism in his later years (compare his book The Redeemer’s Return with his later Exposition of Hebrews and Exposition of the Sermon on the Mount. Ralph Keiper has written in Eternity (April, 1955, p. 32): “His works show hours of study; each line is filled with information and blessing. His books are not shallow. His studies fill the soul with ‘strong meat’ which needs to be well digested.” His work on John has sometimes been called the best among older more detailed books on the English text.  (Commentaries for Biblical Expositors)

RAY PRITCHARD
Sermons on Gospel of John

Note - It seems that the sermons on Ray Pritchard's site are in a constant state of flux (so to speak) and they change URL links in a somewhat unpredictable way so some of the links below may not work. Here is a "workaround"- And you can use this technique for any website in which you encounter a dead link -- try this incredible tool to retrieve material that is no longer present on the "live" web. You will be amazed as I have been as I use it all the time. 

(1) Copy the URL of the sermon you want to read - for example see sermon #1 below - here is the old URL to John 1:10-13 Backstage at Bethlehem - If you click it you get the message NOT FOUND. Here is where the "Way Back Machine" is amazing.

(2) Go to WayBack Machine at https://archive.org/web/

(3) Copy the URL from John 1:10-13 Backstage at Bethlehem and Paste the URL into the WayBack Machine search box. Click "Browse History"

(4) If  WayBack Machine has saved it (and my experience has been that I can almost always find old links saved) you will see a page with spikes for the years it was saved (Example of our Sermon from John 1:10-13). Select one of the spikes -- I usually select one of the older dates because the newest dates may give you "Page Not Found" message.

(5) Now you will see what looks like a calendar with all 12 months and 365 days. In this example I selected 2015 and found a blue colored circle under Jan (January) day "4" (some years like this one have more than one circle but they all work). Hold the pointer over the blue circle and you will see a popup like the example below. Now simply click their number 21:09:58 and it should bring up actual the sermon transcript.

RAY STEDMAN
Devotionals on John 13-17

• 1^st A Living Parable — (John 13:1, 2) Actions speak louder than words. How do we demonstrate the highest form of love - even to those who may not deserve it?
• 2^nd The Drama Of Redemption — (John 13:3, 4,5) What does it mean to serve humbly with a servant's heart? How are we working out Jesus' amazing discipleship parable in our lives?
• 3^rd Prideful Humility — (John 13:6, 7, 8, 9) What is behind our strong sense of independence? Where do we find sufficiency for our needs?
• 4^th When You Don't Need A Bath! — (John 13:10, 11) What is behind feeling detached from a loving God? When we feel out of relationship with Jesus Christ, what can we we choose to do?
• 5^th Washing Feet — (John 13:12, 13, 14,1 5,16, 17) Which is stronger - our sense of forgiveness, or our desire for revenge? What does Jesus mean when He says that we ought to wash one another's feet?
• 6^th No Other Way — (John 13:18, 19, 20) How do we receive Godly people who lovingly confront us with problems of sin in our life? Does our focus shift to judging them, our rightness, or the Lord's words?
• 7^th The Point Of No Return — (John 13:21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30) How can resisting God's provision take us to the point of no return? How can accepting God's provision in Christ also take us to a point of no return?
• 8^th The Secret Of Glory — (John 13:31, 32, 33, 34, 35) What is the secret of glory? How do we achieve the personal fulfillment we are quite properly wanting?
• 9^th Betrayal Or Denial? — (John 13:36, 37, 38) What is our understanding of love? Where does our love originate and thus whose love is it?
• 10^th The Cure For Troubled Hearts — (John 14:1, 2, 3) Our hearts can often be troubled because of our circumstances. Can we choose not to have troubled hearts?
• 11^th The Inclusiveness And Exclusiveness Of Jesus — (John 14:4, 5, 6, 7) Is there more than one way to come to God? What do you think we must do to find God?
• 12^th The Secret Of His Being — (John 14:8, 9, 10, 11) What is the secret of our being? How can we rest from our striving and simply rest in loving?
• 13^th Greater Works — (John 14:12, 13, 14) How are we an influence in the spiritual realm here on earth? Is our faith the center of this life and the basis of our desires?
• 14^th In His Name — (John 14:13, 14) What does praying in Jesus' name mean? How can we both wait for and presently live a joyful life everyday?
• 15^th The Secret Of Our Identity — (John 14:15, 16, 17, 18, 29, 20) What is the ultimate secret of our lives? How can we know this is the truth? How is our identity related to our reality?
• 16^th What Does It Take To Obey? — (John 14:21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26) If it takes love to obey, what produces love? Why is our identity in Christ so interwoven with finding love and the exercise of its power?
• 17^th The Inheritance Of Peace — (John 14:27, 28, 29, 30, 31) How does the world give you peace? Can there really be a cure for a troubled heart?
• 18^th God's Vineyard — (John 15:1, 2, 3) What beautiful analogy has helped many people understand the relationship God wants us to know?
• 19^th Active And Passive — (John 15:4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11) What is the tremendous difference between our will power and our activity power - between our power to choose and our power to do?
• 20^th The Greatest Love — (John 15:12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17) What does it mean to love one another? How can we love someone we are not drawn to? What role do feelings play in loving others?
• 21^st The Witness — (John 15:18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 16:1, 2, 3)What is to be our response when we see or experience hate in the world? What is the way we can be an effective witness?
• 22^nd The Spirit, The World, And You — (John 16:4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11) How does God convince the world of (the one) sin, righteousness and judgment? How do people realize that there is clear-cut righteousness and absolute evil?
• 23^rd All That Is Mine Is Yours — (John 16:12, 13, 14, 15) If we learn to think like Jesus, will it enhance our comprehension and enjoyment of truth in any area of life?
• 24^th From Sorrow To Joy — (John 16:16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 21, 22, 23, 24) In times of difficulty, do we focus on how long our trial will last? How can our very sorrow produce joy?
• 25^th A Different Kind Of Peace — (John 16:25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33) When we have trouble at work, home or elsewhere, how does it affect our attitude? Why is real peace a result of trust in the person of Jesus?
• 26^th A Prayer For Glory — (John 17:1, 2, 3) Can our finite knowledge bring lasting peace? Do we seek to know the One in whom we may have this peace?
• 27^th Praying What Is Promised — (John 17:4, 5, 6, 7, 8) Why should we pray if God knows what is going to happen? Have we learned to pray based on the promises of God?
• 28^th Jesus Prays For His Own — (John 17:9, 10) Of the many blessings one can have in life, what would be the greatest blessing? How do we experience drawing close to God?
• 29^th In The World — (John 17:11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19) As we enter each day, do we acknowledge our vulnerability to the many guises of evil? Do our lives evidence the ownership of Jesus?
• 30^th True Unity — (John 17:20, 21, 22, 23) What unity do we demonstrate so the world can see how Jesus holds the key to reality and is indeed the revelation of the invisible God?
• 31^st Our Great Hope — (John 17:24, 25, 26) Must we wait for heaven? Do our lives reflect the glory of Jesus today as well as our hope to behold His glory in the future?
