Mastering the New Testament: John (Communicator's Commentary, Vol 4)

Rating:
Summary: In-depth and challenging study of the book of John
Review: I have only begun to read about 50 pages of this book at the time of writing the review. But I am incredibly amazed at how in-depth the writer examines the text in the book of John while keeping his focus on the gospel. Fredrikson literally chews through the gospel almost verse by verse, using Greek and historical information to show the intentions of the original author. In many cases he references scripture in other sections of the book of John or elsewhere in the Bible and ties it all together showing a loving and merciful God. This book (along with the series) is intended for someone who has previous read the new testament and is eager to know more about Jesus Christ and how his disciples thought about him. Despite the indepthness, I was amazed at how easy the book is to read. I have read few books that are detailed on Scripture and yet captivate my attention.
