The Gospel of John
Discover fresh insights into John’s presentation of the Gospel and how he recounts Jesus’s life and ministry in this life-changing Gospel.
The Gospel of John, more than any other New Testament book, displays a unique combination of symbolism rooted in history. The task of G.H.C. MacGregor is to illuminate how John draws these two elements together and derives meaning from them. Focusing on historical context, language analysis, and with an eye to the Gospel message, MacGregor shows why John's Gospel has come to have such a prominent place in the church’s worship and how this relatively short book so set the early church on fire with the flame of faith.
Edited by famous twentieth-century scholar James Moffatt, and based on his translation of the New Testament, The Moffatt New Testament Commentary series explains what the New Testament writings meant to the ancient communities for which they were intended. Nonetheless, the authors in this series recognize the New Testament documents as writings of faith, intended to elucidate faith among early Christians. With these dual emphases in mind, The Moffatt Commentary Series provides a thorough, accessible, and compelling treatment of every New Testament book.

The Gospel of John by G. H. C. MacGregor
Having read all the way through the introduction material I concluded: This “so called” commentary as far as I can see is written by a very liberal “scholar”! And no matter how “esteemed” his credentials are - are of no value in this endeavor. It is not worth reading in its entirety! Spend your time and money on these books instead:
Ironside, H. A. - Gospel of John
Phillips, John - Exploring the Gospel of John
Stuart, C. E. - Tracings from the Gospel of John or Records of the Incarnate Word
Van Ryn, August - Meditations in John
Vine, W. E.- John - His Record of Christ
Whitelaw, Thomas - The Gospel of St. John
