John is at once the most complex and the easiest to understand of all the Gospels. If we want a young seeker or a new believer to read something clear and filled with the gospel and sound basic theology, we hand them John; and if we want a deep theological work that stretches the most experienced reader, we hand them the same book. Grant Osborne works through it verse by verse.

The Osborne New Testament Commentary series is written for pastors, teachers and serious lay readers rather than specialists: the exegetical work is done but the apparatus stays out of the way, and the exposition moves at a readable pace. Osborne spent a career in New Testament studies and wrote this series late in it, deliberately for the church. Published by Lexham Press.
