Customer comments on this selection.
 Top of the list
For depth of study combined with clarity of explanation, this is the top of the list of commentaries on John. Having read many commentaries on John, I can say without reservation that there is no better commentary (Protestant or Catholic) on the gospel of John than this one. The archeological and historical information is up to date and in enlightening such as in the detailed discussion concerning the chronological difficulties of when Jesus celebrated the Last Supper with his disciples. Rather than avoiding such questions or over-simplifying the question, the authors take those difficult questions head on and satisfy us with deep analysis providing the various options in resolving those questions. All the while, the discussion is within the boundaries of church doctrine and authority while still allowing for freedom of exploration.
Very highly recommended for group study or personal devotions.
Wonderful Insights
AS with all of his contributions to the other three Gospels and The Acts, Scott Hahn has provided invaluable help to both understanding and appreciating the Gospel of John. I loved it.
Dr. Hahn Unpacks the Gospel of John--A Wonderful Study Help!
The Gospel of St. John holds so many treasures for the reader. Dr. Scott Hahn uses a clear, conversational tone in the wonderful footnotes of this Ignatius Study Bible Edition. Quotes from the Church Fathers, references to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, historical and cultural insights, and word studies help the Catholic reader understand the doctrines and events of John's Gospel in a manner true to the Magisterium.
If you are a little intimidated by studying the Bible because you aren't sure you will understand it according to Church teaching...if you are looking for deeper layers of insight into Sacred Scriptures--in short, if you, at any level of expertise, would love a wonderful resource, this study edition of John's Gospel is for you!
Includes an introduction to the Study Bible, an introduction and an outline to the Gospel, as well as topical essays such as "When Did Jesus Celebrate the Last Supper?" and study questions.
Great supplement for Bible Study Group
I am right now using this commentary as I lead a group with a half hour video from an EWTN and then we use the book to answer the review questions which the class does for homework. Easy for beginner students and learned enough to provoke my thoughts as well.
