AB 29A: Gospel of John 13-21

A New Translation with Introduction and Commentary.

This volume concludes Raymond E. Brown's commentary on the Gospel of John.
Continuing his study begun in Anchor Bible Volume 29, the author translates the
original Greek text into today's English. which allows all readers to make
sense of the Gospel. Father Brown's notes and comments sort out the major
issues surrounding the writings of John - questions of authorship,
composition, date, and John's relation to the Synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark,
and Luke). He analyzes and presents the scholarly debates in a form the
interested layperson can appreciate.

John chapters 13-21 comprise the Book of Glory (describing the Last Supper, the
Passion, and the appearances of the Risen Jesus) and the epilogue to the
Gospel. This commentary includes a special appendix on the Paraclete, in which
Brown examines in detail the role of the Holy Spirit. Whether discussing John's
version of miracle stories found in the other Gospels, explaining the meaning
of obscure Greek words, or showing the relevance of Jesus' words and deeds,
Father Brown speaks to scholars and laypeople alike.

[...] crystal clear and still very useful. [...] The work's notes and " cross references are a mine of information. It is one of the best contributions
to the Anchor Bible series and a fine representative of moderate catholic
scholarship. That does not mean that his five stages of literary development,
or the sacramentalism he finds running through the text, will command assent
among all interpreters. - D.A. Carson"
