Review by April McIntyre\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fourth commentary, on John’s Gospel, is written by Revd Professor Richard Burridge, former Dean of King’s College, London. He describes it as one in which ‘a child may paddle but an elephant can swim deep’. The book begins with a detailed introduction and overview of the gospel, exploring themes, background and key words. The writing has an energy which excites the reader to ‘plunge in’ and learn more. This is followed by close commentary on the text, broken up into 107 small sections, each ending with a short prayer. The book is therefore suitable for both personal daily study and meditation and for reference. The commentary is very readable and a goldmine of interesting facts and comments, often referring back to the original Greek. The small sections, although self-contained, never lose the sense of being part of a greater whole. The book ends with comprehensive notes, references and glossary. For those who preach or prepare Bible studies this is an invaluable resource, and I would recommend it to fellow-ministers and students. Above all, it enables the reader to go deeper into the stories of Jesus: to ponder his identity as light, logos, shepherd and Passover lamb; to watch him turning water into wine and death into life and to encounter the Jesus who is Christ – and God.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eReviewed by April McIntyre\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2022-04-05T13:06:26+01:00","created_at":"2022-03-29T11:34:17+01:00","vendor":"Richard A Burridge","type":"EPUB","tags":["Centenary Classics","Centenary Collection","Kindle","May-22","PBC","PDF","The People's Bible Commentary"],"price":999,"price_min":999,"price_max":999,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":999,"compare_at_price_min":999,"compare_at_price_max":999,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":41462932373695,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"9781800391604","requires_shipping":false,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"A People's Bible Commentary: A Bible commentary for every day - John","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":999,"weight":0,"compare_at_price":999,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"9781800391604","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/9781800391604.jpg?v=1660809573"],"featured_image":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/9781800391604.jpg?v=1660809573","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":25675695390911,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.656,"height":1524,"width":1000,"src":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/9781800391604.jpg?v=1660809573"},"aspect_ratio":0.656,"height":1524,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/www.brfonline.org.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/9781800391604.jpg?v=1660809573","width":1000}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSublime and poetic, John’s gospel has fascinated theologians and mystics for centuries.
