[Samuel G. Parkison · Rating 4 out of 5]

Some quibbles here and there, but a lot of great observations.

[Josh · Rating 2 out of 5]

To be blunt, I think this commentary is a little bit lazy. It feels like they give you little more than what you'd find in a study Bible as it covers John. Doesn't even treat every verse in the gospel. I've found it to generally not be helpful in my study when compared to other commentaries.
