The Genius of the Fourth Gospel: A Homiletical Commentary on the Gospel of John
Overview
Originally published in two volumes, this popular commentary has been valued by Bible students for more than a century. The Genius of the Fourth Gospel is an intensely practical commentary which focuses on the issue of the message. As such, the commentary is a wonderful resource for teachers in lesson preparation. It is also an excellent commentary for use in personal devotional readings. The work is enormously practical in that it focuses on the events and the unfolding story in the text rather than grammar issues and word derivations.

The man went, after the application of the clay to his eyes, to Siloam, as directed.” (Page 264)
