Description

The Gospel of John is the foundation of the distinctive teaching of Christianity, providing a human Christ to redeem us, a divine Christ to reveal God's nature, and a powerful, Spirit-filled Christ to help us lead holy lives. This commentary offers a deeply satisfying portrait of Christ, unveiled in today's terminology. The NIV Application Commentary presents each passage in three sections: Original Meaning, Bridging Contexts, and Contemporary Significance. The first section provides concise exegesis to help readers understand the original meaning of the biblical text in its historical, literary, and cultural context. The second section bridges the gap between the world of the Bible and the world of today, identifying timeless messages and exploring their relevance. The third section identifies comparable situations to those faced in the Bible and explores relevant application of the biblical messages, alerting readers to potential problems and helping them think through the issues involved. This commentary is an ideal resource for preachers, teachers, and serious students of the Bible, providing the tools, ideas, and insights needed to communicate God's Word with powerful impact.
