Exposition of the Gospel of John Kindle Edition
It is our purpose to give a verse by verse exposition of the fourth Gospel in the course of this series of studies, but before turning to the opening verses of chapter I it will be necessary to consider John’s Gospel as a whole, with the endeavor of discovering its scope, its central theme, and its relation to the other three Gospels. We shall not waste the reader’s time by entering into a discussion as to who wrote this fourth Gospel, as to where John was when he wrote it, nor as to the probable date when it was written. These may be points of academical interest, but they provide no food for the soul, nor do they afford any help to an understanding of this section of the Bible, and these are the two chief things we desire to accomplish. Our aim is to open up the Scriptures in such a way that the reader will be able to enter into the meaning of what God has recorded for our learning in this part of His Holy Word, and to edify those who are members of the Household of Faith. As we turn to the fourth Gospel we come to entirely different ground from that which is traversed in the other three. It is true, the period of time covered by it is the same as in Matthew, Mark, and Luke, some of the incidents treated of by the "Synoptics" come before us here, and He who has occupied the central position in the narratives of the first three Evangelists is the same One that is made pre-eminent by John; but otherwise, everything is entirely new. The viewpoint of this fourth Gospel is more elevated than that of the others; its contents bring into view spiritual relationships rather than human ties; and, higher glories are revealed as touching the peerless Person of the Savior. In each of the first three Gospels Christ is viewed in human relationships, but not so in John. The purpose of this fourth Gospel is to show that the One who was born in a manger and afterward died on the Cross had higher glories than those of King, that He who humbled Himself to take the Servant place was, previously, "equal with God," that the One who became the Son of Man was none other than, and ever remains, the Only Begotten of the Father.

5.0 out of 5 stars The book was excellent and so filled with wisdom from the Holy Spirit
The book was excellent and so filled with wisdom from the Holy Spirit. My only issue with the book were the grammatical, spelling, and punctuation errors that were throughout the book. It seemed like many pages had not been proof read. I lay the fault of this on the publishing company. Otherwise, as usual, A. W. Pink is thorough and easy to understand.

The binding is so poor that at the first opening itself it started almost tearing off . No margins on the left side. The arrangement of paragraphs are very poor. The The front cover picture is not as clear as shown in the photo. For the content I give five stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly insightful exposition
Arthur Pink had amazing insight into the symbolism of every detail and points out parallels and information I would never have dreamt of myself, but it is there and obvious once he points it out to you. His work is relevant to today's church even though this was written some decades back.
