The Gospel of John Edgar Johnson Goodspeed

Edgar Johnson Goodspeed, a Biblical scholar whose career spanned decades, offers a commentary and study of the Gospel of John brimming with insights.

A theologian with immense scholarly knowledge of the Bible, Edgar Goodspeed offers here his interpretation of the book of John, informed by a chapter and verse reading and quoting of the entire text. Designed to help readers attain comprehension of this work, and the wider New Testament, each of the five studies which comprises this work are concluded with a lengthy list of questions intended to test the reader's understanding of each part.

Goodspeed's analysis is divided into four studies: one concerns the gospel's prologue, two concern the nature and description of the ministry of Jesus Christ, one concerns the revelations and teachings Jesus dispensed to his disciples, and finally the book examines Christ's death and resurrection. No verse of significance is neglected or omitted, that the reader attain complete comprehension of the relationship between Jesus and his disciples.

The author also offers reading schedules for the Bible student, whereby a given passage of John should be studied on a given day. These proscriptions are accompanied with relevant thoughts from which the reader can begin an analysis of their own.
