The Expositor's Bible: The Gospel of St. John, Vol. I

"The Expositor's Bible: The Gospel of St. John, Vol. I" by Marcus Dods is a detailed examination of the Gospel of John, aiming to deepen readers' comprehension of the Scripture. Examining faith and disbelief, Dods lays out the Gospel as not a simple biography, but as a carefully constructed presentation of pivotal events and lessons designed to reveal Jesus's divine essence. The book opens by focusing on how the Word existed eternally with God and created all things, contrasting this with humanity's tragic rejection of Him. It then sets the stage for further exploration of Jesus’ life and teachings as told by John.
