Críticas:

"This is not yet another commentary on the Gospel of John; rather it comes from an experienced teacher-scholar who has spent many years in studying its contexts and text and in seeking to make this Gospel understandable to informed students as well as to any interested lay reader. [...] Every interested person will find this book beneficial and edifying. Therefore, I recommend it warmly." -Daniel Jeyaraj, Liverpool Hope University, Theological Book Review (tbr), Vol. 25, No.2, 2013 "The book is aimed at ministers and students. To those audiences, this volume is highly recommended. It will be especially helpful to pastors and teachers ministering in context where it is very difficult to have access to traditional Johanine commentaries. They will find here clear explications of the text, insightful hermeneutical suggestions, and even illustrations for sermons." -Carlos R. Sosa, The Expository Times, Vol. 127 No. 6, March 2016

Reseña del editor:

In this valuable and informative commentary, Jey J. Kanagaraj examines the ways in which John projects the church as God's 'new covenant community', characterized by two virtues: love and obedience. Impossible to exhibit under the old covenant based on Moses' law, these qualities became possible by the initiative grace and faithfulness of God revealed in Jesus and demonstrated by the power of the Spirit. God's new community is inclusive and progressive because its steadfast witness to Jesus in a world that hates and persecutes it has the power to bring in all people, so that they may become one flock under one shepherd. Kanagaraj argues that the idea of founding and nurturing a new community was in God's heart even before the time of creation and not just at the time of incarnation. Jey J. Kanagaraj was Professor of New Testament for a number of years at the Union Biblical Seminary, Pune, India, and was the Principal of Bethel Bible Institute near Salem, India. He is the author of ' "Mysticism" in the Gospel of John: An Inquiry into its Background' (1998), and of another commentary, 'John's Gospel written to the Indian context' (2005). In addition, he has edited two books and published numerous articles. 'It is a precious gift when a key biblical scholar puts together a commentary that reflects the best current research and a concern to relate the text to today. Jey Kanagaraj's commentary does just that, providing the reader with reliable historical information and perspectives that fuse the horizons of then and now. A sound guide for the careful and the caring.' William Loader, Emeritus Professor, Murdoch University.
