The Gospel according to John

by A.M. Hunter (Editor)

This volume on John's Gospel is one of the series of commentaries on the New English Bible which is designed for use in schools and colleges, and for the minister and the layman. Each volume comments on one book, or a few short books, of the Bible, and in each the text is given in full. Sections of text and commentary alternate, so that the reader does not have to keep two books open, or turn from one part of the book to the other, or refer to a commentary in small type at the foot of the page. Great care has been taken to see that the commentary is suitable for the student and the layman: there is no Greek or Hebrew, and no strings of biblical references, but the commentary does convey the latest and best scholarship. The general editors all have experience of teaching or examining in school and working with adults. In addition to the general introductory volume, Understanding the New Testament, there is a volume of maps and plates, New Testament Illustrations.

[Gregory Knapp · Rating 5 out of 5]

Despite the fact that this Cambridge University Press series is a digital (on paper) reprint from the 1960s, it's still the best and most accessible commentary series I have found, and they have one in print for every book of The Bible.

It was written (as it states in the preface) for use by British high school kids to study for the equivalent of the AP Exam.
