John: Eerdmans Classic Biblical Commentaries

Originally published in 1948, this now-classic study by Merrill Tenney treats the Gospel of John as a literary unit and provides a straightforward analysis of the text. Tenney first outlines the structure of the Gospel, then offers a careful exposition of John's text according to six major periods of Christ's life, and finally presents a topical analysis of the Gospel. The result is not a critical commentary but a well-organized guidebook complemented by charts and diagrams.

Tenney's John: The Gospel of Belief, reissued now in this new format, will continue helping pastors, teachers, students, and other Bible readers grasp the aim and major themes of John.
