A Short John commentary from the godfather of contemporary missional theology. Newbigin examines Jesus in the fourth gospel, always with an eye for his mission. Some great material in here. It not a technical commentary and students of John would want to augment their reading with something else. But I never look at John's gospel without dipping back in here. ( )

Outstanding stuff from an outstanding thinker. Newbigin's exposition deserves a place next to your commentaries on John. Go to the commentaries when you need to sort through exegetical issues. Go to Newbigin when you want to catch a glimpse of the gospel writer's heart. But don't be fooled; this isn't shallow stuff. It's meatier than many a commentary! ( )
