I originally reserved this from my library to help me with my Bible study. I've been finding it a real help and so now have my own copy. It's at a good level for a layman who wants to do more than a superficial study of the Bible.
It helps to give context to the scripture with its historical and linguistic notes.

Both of these commentaries are very solid and judiciously treat the major commentaries with just the right amount of attention and guide the reader toward their own mostly balanced exegesis and application. Gail O'Day, in her work on John, get a little too polemical at times for my taste but is otherwise quite good.

I'm writing this to recommend the John volume. I haven't read the whole commentary but struggled to find one which is academic and practical enough to be useful for preaching and teaching. This one is an undiscovered gem (thanks to Nijay Gupta); I highly recommend it for pastors.
