This has been reprinted recently for CBD.com and is a hard cover binding. This review is based on the reprint.
This writing is two separate works bound into one volume. Bruce's purpose as stated in his preface is the general student, not the scholar or specialist. He intends to give a detailed study for serious lay students. This purpose is skillfully accomplished by the author.
The first 425 pages deal with the Johannine gospel and the last 160 pages with his epistles. The indices for each only deal with each individual book within the volume. Bruce's source for his translation is the 1979 Nestle Aland Greek.
The first section on John's gospel begins with a general introduction. Bruce covers this vastly complex topic in relatively short order and discusses some of the controversy or critical study, which can fill volumes. But, he does give a decent brief discussion of the major topics that were present in the early 80s, and discusses the historical evidence regarding authorship. For a more indepth treatment, see Keener's 2-volume commentary. Then Bruce gives an outline of the gospel before proceeding to his verse-by-verse exposition. Each chapter of the book is divided by chapters found in John. He uses a smattering of textual and linguistic information that should be enough to help the pastor or lay student in preparation for teaching. He also deftly utilizes his extensive knowledge of the Old Testament to decipher controversial and often misunderstood passages found in John. An appendix is dedicated to the discussion of John 7:53- 8:11. Here he recognizes the textual difficulties, but concludes that traditional placement of this passage is likely to be correct.
Bruce's second work in this volume takes on a similar structure to the first with each epistle being introduced and then exposited. Bruce takes the traditional view of Johannine authorship, while recognizing the arguments against such a stance. He pays special attention to 1 John 5:7's use of the "three heavenly witnesses" found in the KJ. He discusses the history of exegesis of the verse and correctly states that the theology of the Trinity rests throughout Scripture and does not hang on this one verse.
Overall, Bruce has provided Christian students with a superb pastoral commentary that will prove very useful in the teaching and preaching environment. His use of the Old Testament makes this volume supersede his expectations that this book is not useful to scholars, as he discusses topics missed by the most recent scholarly commentators on John's writings. This is a superb commentary to add to the library of any student of Scripture.
