Commentaries on the Gospel of John

[Mayflower]

I have a already A.W. Pink, Calvin and Matthew Henry on the Gospel of John.

Any other good commentaries on the Gospel of John ???

 

[VirginiaHuguenot]

George Hutcheson and John Collinges (Matthew Poole) are very much worth having.

 

[Rev. Todd Ruddell]

Leon Morris is very good--highly recommended.

 

[BuddyOfDavidClarkson]

George Hutcheson. Look here first!

 

[Archlute]

Ridderbos has a stand alone commentary on John's Gospel that is very good.

Also, check out D.A. Carson in his "Pillar" NT commentary series.

In addition to the excellent Puritan works already mentioned, the best of the moderns are definitely Carson, Ridderbos, Kostenberger, Barrett, Keener, Lincoln, Brown, and Schnackenburg.

...., the best of the moderns are definitely Kostenberger, Keener .

Is Kostenberger really good ? It it only a technical commentary ? Thoughts ?
Any thoughts on Keener ?

Kostenberger follows Carson pretty closely in most respects, amplifying him here and there (the former was the latter's student, after all). Keener's commentary is a tour de force in terms of ancient parallels. As a result, the historical context is probably his strongest suit. Kostenberger is definitely less technical than Keener.
