This review is from: The Literary Development of John 13-17: A Chiastic Reading (Dissertation Series (Society of Biblical Literature)) (Hardcover)

Brouwer has staked out new territory in Johannine studies by exploring the Farewell Discourse as a chiastically-shaped literary unit. While you might not be familiar with chiasm as literary design (I wasn't!), this well-crafted study is accessible and extremely interesting. While supporting his own thesis, Brouwer also packs in a grand collection of interpretive insights that make Bible study fun! I was amazed! This is a good book to buy for your pastor or college student or seminary friend.
