"Preachers will find Morris's exegetical hints helpful inasmuch as they will lead to greater accuracy in expounding the text...The text of the exposition can be read with profit by the average layperson...In the footnotes students of the word will find the most amazing and delightful array of material. It is a pleasure to recommend this perceptive and valuable treatment." "The commentary proper is detailed and learned, discusses exegetical alternatives clearly, and locates Jesus in first-century Judaism. This revised commentary is the evangelical counterpart to Barrett and Bultmann; it will be consulted much." "A senior Johannine scholar here weaves together fresh thinking on John’s Gospel with his years of engagement with the Gospel and its earlier scholarly interpreters. This new commentary is attentive to the details of the text, to structural clues, and to the cohesiveness of John’s narrative as a whole; while clearly sensitive to the Greek text, it is written to be intelligible for English readers." Hailed as perhaps 'the best commentary on any book of the Bible by an evangelical in recent decades' by Christianity Today when it was first published, Leon Morris's Gospel according to John has endured as a standard commentary on John's Gospel. Recognizing the central importance of the Fourth Gospel in any series on the New Testament, Morris devoted more than ten years to preparing this volume. Written with considerable acumen and a thorough knowledge of the previous scholarly work on the Johannine text, The Gospel according to John is one of the largest and most comprehensive evangelical commentaries on this important Gospel. This revised edition includes significant modifications and additions. While maintaining substantially the same stance as in his original work, Morris here references important secondary sources and studies that have appeared more recently. About the New International Commentary New Testament Series This statement reflects the underlying purpose of The New International Commentary on the New Testament. Begun in the late 1940s by an international team of New Testament scholars, the NICNT series has become recognized by pastors, students, and scholars alike as a critical yet orthodox commentary marked by solid biblical scholarship within the evangelical Protestant tradition. While based on a thorough study of the Greek text, the commentary introductions and expositions contain a minimum of Greek references. The NICNT authors evaluate significant textual problems and take into account the most important exegetical literature. More technical aspects - such as grammatical, textual, and historical problems - are dealt with in footnotes, special notes, and appendixes. Under the general editorship of three outstanding New Testament scholars - first Ned Stonehouse (Westminster Theological Seminary, Philadelphia), then F. F. Bruce (University of Manchester, England), and now Gordon D. Fee (Regent College, Vancouver, British Columbia) - the NICNT series has continued to develop over the years. In order to keep the commentary “new” and conversant with contemporary scholarship, the NICNT volumes have been - and will be - revised or replaced as necessary. The newer NICNT volumes in particular take into account the role of recent rhetorical and sociological inquiry in elucidating the meaning of the text, and they also exhibit concern for the theology and application of the text. As the NICNT series is ever brought up to date, it will continue to find ongoing usefulness as an established guide to the New Testament text. About the Author
