[Sean McGowan · Rating 4 out of 5]

Slowly worked through this while preaching through John. Very helpful and practical.

Boice was the model of scholarly pastor -- BA Harvard; MDiv. Princeton Seminary; PhD Basel Switzerland. He spent his entire ministry at one church (30 years at 10th Presbyterian), in the city he loved and grew it to thousands.

I have used his commentaries now in Ephesians, Acts, Genesis, and John, and in my opinion his work in John is his best. For one it is his most thorough -- about 5 times as long as the similarly sized book of Acts. It was also the subject of his graduate work. Lastly, his NT work tends to be less moralistic and more Christ-Centered than his OT work. This is esp. true of this John work.

I read it years ago and read it again last year

Boice is still my favorite commentator. I read parts of these 5 volumes whilte I studied John in BSF. I would like to go back and read the parts I missed. Don’t know when that will happen.
