As the beloved disciple, John brings a unique perspective on the life and ministry of Christ. In simple majesty, he confesses the divinity and mission of Christ in some of the most profound passage of the scriptures. In this original translation and commentary, Rev. Dr. William C. Weinrich tackles the Gospel line by line with a firmly Christological hermeneutic. He notes especially the emphasis John gives to the eternity of Christ, addressing this in the omission of a nativity narrative in favor John's famous "In the beginning was the Word" [1:1]

About the series
The Concordia Commentary Series: A Theological Exposition of Sacred Scripture is written to enable pastors and teachers of the Word to proclaim the Gospel with greater insight, clarity, and faithfulness to the divine intent of the Biblical text.
The series will cover all the canonical books of the Old and New Testament, with an original translation and meticulous grammatical analysis of the Hebrew, Aramaic, or Greek of each text. The foremost interpretive lens centers on the unified proclamation of the person and work of Christ across every Scriptural book.
The Commentary fully affirms the divine inspiration, inerrancy, and authority of Scripture; Each passage bears witness to the confession that God has reconciled the world to Himself through the incarnation, ministry, death, resurrection, and ascension of Christ His Son.
Authors expose the rich treasury of language, imagery, and thematic content of the Scripture, while supplementing their work with additional research in archaeology, history, and extrabiblical literature. Throughout, God's Word emanates from authors careful attention and inculcates the ongoing life of the Church in Word, Sacrament, and daily confession.
