The Gospel according to St. John; (Herder's theological commentary on the New Testament)

Rudolf Schnackenburg

Herder & Herder, 1968

A classic in Johannine studies

Schnackenburg's commentary on John (this is Vol. 1 of 3 volumes) is an excellent text for mining the depths of this gospel. It belongs in the library of anyone serious about the Johannine text along with Raymond Brown's two-volume commentary. Indispensible for serious study

The Gospel According to St. John: An Introduction With Commentary and Notes on the Greek Text

C. K. Barrett

Westminster John Knox Press, 1978

Barrett's the Bomb

+ The Gospel According to St John
+ Excellent exegesis resource!

Word Biblical Commentary Vol. 36, John (revised), (beasley-murray)

George R. Beasley-Murray

Thomas Nelson, 1999

Revised Edition Misleading

+ Thorough treatment of John's Gospel
+ Treasures of modern scholarship

I have both the original 1987 edition and the "revised" 1999 edition. To the publishers credit, the 1999 edition does state flat out that the only thing new is 50 pages of updated bibliography and reviews of major book on the Gospel since the original publication. This is all located in one new ...
