It seems like many people enjoy this commentary, but every singly time I go to it and give it another chance, I always think, "That was a waste. Kostenbergers was more helpful."

Reformed readers of this blog will recognize Ridderbos from his works on the theology of Paul and the kingdom of God. His theological commentary on John was originally published in Dutch in two volumes (1987, 1992). The English translation was first published in 1997.
