“By believing you may have life in his name” —John 20:31
In this commentary, Andreas J. Köstenberger culminates a lifetime of scholarship in Johannine literature. The Gospel of John states its purpose: to demonstrate Jesus’s true identity as the Christ and the Son of God. Köstenberger interprets the Gospel from this perspective, focusing on its text and meaning over secondary concerns. John presents Jesus in relation to Israel’s story and key figures. Köstenberger highlights John’s Old Testament sources, redemptive-historical framework, and biblical-theological connections. This detailed commentary will guide all students of Scripture to see Jesus as John’s Gospel intends.
