A Masterpiece! A Devotional and Scholarly Classic. A book you will love and treasure - William Temple’s Magnum Opus, originally published in two volumes in 1938/39. His aim is to share with us what the Holy Spirit says to him through this Gospel. This book can be used as a commentary, for daily devotion and for sermon preparation.Temple wrote: “As long as I can remember I have had more love for St. John’s Gospel than for any other book. Bishop Gore once said to me that he paid visits to St. John as to a fascinating foreign country, but he came home to St. Paul. With me the precise opposite is true. St. Paul is the exciting, and also rather bewildering, adventure; with St. John I am at home.”

Profound Commentary from the Archbishop of Canterbury

Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2008

Verified Purchase

This is one of the best commentaries I have found on the Gospel of John. William Temple was the Archbishop of Canterbury during World War II. His explanations of Jesus' teaching in this gospel are very moving, clear, and more profound than I have read before. The well known passages of John 3, 17, 19 were presented in an intensely clear way drawing from allusions that are more culturally common today, and in it he explains the significance of the imagery that Jesus drew upon to those in his Jewish homeland.

Helpful reflections on Johns Gospel

Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2008

William Temple, former Archbishop of Canterbury, offers reflections from his readings of St. John's Gospel. Temple does not set out to provide a critical commentary of the gospel but rather more personal devotional reflections. He writes in the introduction that he is writing as he perceives the Holy Spirit speaking to his mind and heart through John's gospel. As such an erudite scholar, his reflections are also filled with scholarly insights in addition to writing touching the heart and soul. His insights are presented by chapter and most verses and help one gain a better understanding of the gospel and to come to a closer relationship the the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Temple opens the book in simple yet profound ways that would be helpful to Christians of all levels of maturity. This book is definitely worth buying and reading.

If you love St. John's Gospel

Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2018

If you love St. John's Gospel, you will love and treasure this large volume. It is as rich as a box of chocolates, not to be devoured in one sitting. Temple says that this is not a commentary, though it has components of that. He doesn't try to turn every stone, but rather shares with us what the Holy Spirit says to him through this Gospel. Inspiring.

A spiritual classic

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 30, 2016

Verified Purchase

I bought this hard cover book as a Christmas present for a fairly High Church cousin, having already owned it in paperback from 45 years ago. The man who led me to Christ, Rev JAFG, recommended it, and it was wise advice. it is in fact a spiritual classic.

It's not strictly a commentary, more a devotional study, (although it does not claim to be so) by a profound scholar, Archbishop William Temple. It is lucid and intelligent, fairly expository, and with a fine literary style. It was my first introduction to St John's Gospel, and though I have bought several commentaries on it since, it remains by far the best reading on John. His purpose is "an attempt to share my own thoughts as I read the profoundest of all writings." He gives a general introduction to the book, and regards the apostle as the author, either directly or indirectly. "I am concerned with what the Holy Spirit says to me through the Gospel"

He writes in some detail, and clearly believes what he reads. I am not put off by any differences in Churchmanship- I am a Pentecostal, - because the author was clearly a saintly man who loved the Lord. Read this, and you will walk through Judea and Galilee with the Author, you will get a deep understanding of His teaching.

I particularly love his exposition on John VIII 1-11. It is virtually a sermon on judgment, actually the refusal to condemn, and eventually breaks into prayer. And it opens with the phrase that says it all- "these odious ecclesiastics"!
No one can fail to profit from readng this book.

N.T. Study : John's Gospel

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 17, 2014

Exposition/commentary on a great Gospel by a great one-time Arch-bishop of Canterbury, William Temple. It also has a brief but very helpful introduction to John, with a wise approach to the thorny question of authorship.
