John 1-12: A Commentary in the Wesleyan Tradition (New Beacon Bible Commentary) [NBBC]

Simple to read but conceptually complex, the Gospel of John is in many ways, unlike its three companion Gospels. The authors of this two-volume New Beacon Bible Commentary have presented succinctly the best that contemporary New Testament scholarship has to offer on this Gospel. This commentary delves deeply into the development, meaning, and application of this unique book by exploring the genre, literary devices, authorship, and other features. Volume 1 encompasses John 1-12, the prologue and the Book of Signs.

The New Beacon Bible Commentary is an engaging, indispensable reference tool to aid individuals in every walk of life in the study and meditation of God’s Word. Written from the Wesleyan theological perspective, it offers insight and perceptive scholarship to help you unlock the deeper truths of Scripture and garner an awareness of the history, culture, and context attributed to each book of study.
