The Gospel According to John by D.A. Carson

Written by D. A. Carson, a research professor of New Testament at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, this is one of the best commentaries on the Gospel of John that has been written in the past 50 years. And while the content leans towards the scholarly side of things making it difficult to read, by and large, the text is a veritable treasure-trove of solid biblical exegesis. If you only have one commentary on John, it should be this one.

John, Volume 36: Revised by
George R. Beasley-Murray

With its emphasis on textual, linguistic, structural, and theological evidence, this commentary is only for those who love the deeper waters of biblical academia. Written by Dr. George R. Beasley-Murray (1916-2000), this study is the byproduct of a lifetime of research and experience. Although it was revised for the modern reader in 2015, Dr. Beasley-Murray’s work is still not for the faint of heart. But it is well worth the effort for those who put in the work to understand its content.
