The venerable D.A. Carson provides here a brilliant unpacking of the end of John -- the most poetic, most spiritual, and (for my money, anyway) most confusing of the Gospels.

Carson's "explanation of the issues involved could not be more clear.... Because Carson roots his exposition in the original context, he can apply it directly and practically to the situations of modern readers. This book is thrilling and heart-warming...."
- Christopher Hingley, The Evangel

"Here is scholarship at its best, a clear, well-reasoned, understandable account."
- Derek Swann, Evangelical Times

"...highly recommended for its homilectic and expositional values. The preacher who likes to prepare expository sermons willl find invaluable guidelines in exegesis, illustrations, and inspirational poetry."
- Sherwood Smith, Seminary Review
