St. Andrew's Expositional Commentary 

An easily readable book taken from Sproul's sermons unpacking the major themes of the Gospel of John. "... readers will find invaluable insights into the goals John had in writing his Gospel, the background for Jesus' time, and the meanings of some of John's most difficult passages .. (an) introduction to this unique record of Jesus' life, packed with insights and exhortations that will draw the reader closer to the Savior and encourage him or her to a greater depth of love and devotion to Him."

"In his latest book, John, Dr. R. C. Sproul offers his readers the fruits of his lifetime of biblical study as expressed in his most recent calling... (as a teacher) in 1997, God placed him in the position of preaching weekly at St. Andrew's in Sanford, Florida. There, he adopted the ancient Christian practice of lectio continua, or continuous expositions, the method of preaching verse-by-verse through books of the Bible...

(He has begun to) adapt these sermon series for a wider audience. The result is the St. Andrew's Expositional Commentary... John includes fifty-seven chapters, each of which began as a St. Andrew's sermon... the book is an expositional commentary that is, it does not deal with each and every verse ..."
