A Theology of John's Gospel and Letters introduces the first volume in the BTNT series. Building on many years of research and study in Johannine literature, Andreas K�stenberger not only furnishes an exhaustive theology of John's Gospel and letters, but also provides a detailed study of major themes and relates them to the Synoptic Gospels and other New Testament books. Readers will gain an in-depth and holistic grasp of Johannine theology in the larger context of the Bible.D. A. Carson (Trinity Evangelical Divinity School) says about K�stenberger's volume that "for the comprehensiveness of its coverage in the field of Johannine theology (Gospel and Letters), there is nothing to compare to this work."I. Howard Marshall (University of Aberdeen) writes, "This book is a 'first' in many ways: the first volume that sets the pattern for the quality and style of the new Biblical Theology of the New Testament series published by Zondervan; the first major volume to be devoted specifically to the theology of John's Gospel and Letters at a high academic level; and the first volume to do so on the basis that here we have an interpretation of John's theology composed by an eyewitness of the life and passion of Jesus."The Biblical Theology of the New Testament SeriesThe Biblical Theology of the New Testament (BTNT) series provides upper college and seminary-level textbooks for students of New Testament theology, interpretation, and exegesis. Pastors and discerning theology readers alike will also benefit from this series. Written at the highest level of academic excellence by recognized experts in the field, the BTNT series not only offers a comprehensive exploration of the theology of every book of the New Testament, including introductory issues and major themes, but also shows how each book relates to the broad picture of New Testament theology.

K�¶stenberger (AJK) looks at the genre of John's writings, the style of John's writings and the structure of his writings, and ends with a literary-theological reading his the Gospel and of the letters. The literary-theological is the sort of commentary I enjoy. AJK tells us what each section is saying, and why it fits where it does.
Throughout, K�¶stenberger looks at the themes of glory, the people's messianic expectation, their misunderstanding, divine judgment, death, unbelief, Jesus' signs, and more.
In Part 3 (250 pages), AJK looks at John's worldview and his use of Scripture, the Word, the trinity, salvation history, John's love ethic, theology of the cross, and his trinitarian mission theology.
In the chapter on the Word: creation and new creation, K�¶stenberger looks at all the references to "life" and "light" in John, and lists his observations on their use throughout John. God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit all posses life and light. For us to have life is a present reality and a future expectation. We are both saved and we will be saved from sin and death in the future.
K�¶stenberger's book is extremely valuable just for these insights. This section covers roughly 250 pages, which will give you rich connections throughout John's Gospel.
Recommended?
This is full of theological insights. AJK is evangelical and fully committed to the authority and trustworthiness of Scripture. There is a gold mine of information here. If you are a preacher, a teacher, a layperson, or anywhere in between, and you want to know and understand John's Gospel better, consider picking this one up. It is worth your time.
