AB 29: Gospel of John 1-12

A New Translation with Introduction and Commentary.

In the first volume of Raymond E. Brown's three-volume commentary on the
Gospel according to John, all of the major Johannine questions - of authorship,
composition, dating, the relationship of John to the Synoptics (Mark, Matthew,
and Luke) - are discussed. The important theories of modern biblical
scholarship concerning John are weighed against the evidence given in the text
and against prevailing biblical research. In sum, what is attempted is a
synthesis of the major scholarly insights that bear on the Fourth
Gospel.The translation strives not for any formal beauty but rather for
an accurate and contemporary version: 'the simple, everyday Greek of the Gospel
has been rendered into the ordinary American English of today.' The result is a
translation that will strike the reader with uncommon immediacy. Brown also
analyzes, in the appendixes, the meaning, use, and frequency of certain key
words and phrases that occur in John, and examines the differences between the
Johannine and Synoptic treatments of the miracle stories.
