A Theology of John's Gospel and Letters

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“PRAISE FOR A THEOLOGY OF JOHN’S GOSPEL AND LETTERS For the comprehensiveness of its coverage in the field of Johannine theology (gospel and letters), there is nothing to compare to this work. D. A. CARSON, research professor of New Testament, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School This book is a “first” in many ways: the first volume that sets the pattern for the quality and style of the new Biblical Theology of the New Testament series published by Zondervan; the first major volume to be devoted specifically to the theology of John’s gospel and letters at a high academic level; and the first volume to offer a thorough interpretation of the theology of an eyewitness of the life and passion of Jesus. Andreas Köstenberger has already laid a foundation for his study with his careful, detailed commentary on the gospel of John, and here presents a self-standing study that gathers together the thought of the Evangelist in a systematic and complete manner. I particularly welcome the way in which the book sets out John’s theological story in the gospel and letters before giving a detailed, thematic study I. HOWARD MARSHALL, emeritus professor of New Testament exegesis and honorary research professor, University of Aberdeen Massive and masterful, this book presents Johannine theology in encyclopedic fullness. Arguing for apostolic authorship of John’s gospel and epistles, Andreas Köstenberger gives due weight to historical, literary, linguistic, and thematic matters in careful interaction with other scholars. Yet pastors and advanced students will also find the discussion accessible. We find here a new benchmark in synthetic treatment of these priceless writings of Christ’s beloved disciple. ROBERT W. YARBROUGH, professor of New Testament, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School To the Word-Made-Flesh “And since they all [i.e. all four canonical Gospels] had the same object, to show Christ, the first three exhibit His body, if I may be permitted to put it like that, but John shows His soul.”
