Reviews

"Here is the second of IVP's planned releases of recently-discovered commentaries by famous scholar J. B. Lightfoot. . . . Though many of Lightfoot's commentaries have been popular for over a century, these releases cover commentaries on parts of the Bible that he did pursue publishing because dear friends wrote on those same books of the Bible. Now with this publishing event, his work was not in vain. . . . We have here both an interesting, historical commentary and something of a collector's item. You will want to check it out."
*Jimmy Reagan, The Reagan Review, November 30, 2015*

"The Gospel of St. John: A Newly Discovered Commentary is an exciting window into the mind of one of the most brilliant biblical commentators of the past two centuries. Readers of all backgrounds and interests will benefit greatly from the wisdom and judicious historical and exegetical care of J. B. Lightfoot. This was true for his previously published work, and evidently, it remains true for these newly discovered ones as well. This is an important publication that I would not want to be without, and thus it comes highly recommended."
*John Kight, Sojourner Theology, January 11, 2016*

"Though Lightfoot was dealing with an older incredulity and skepticism, nevertheless his observations and evaluations are helpful as we face similar suspicions and cynicisms. And his commentary shows the value of thoughtfully reading passages from the original languages. This would make a great addition to the library of your favorite seminarian or pastor. I heartily recommend the volume for more than just its historical value."
