The New International Commentary on the New Testament
Gordon D. Fee, general editor
The Gospel of John
J. Ramsey Michaels
This elegantly written, section-by-section, verse-by-verse commentary gives
primary attention to the Gospel of John in its present form rather than to the
sources or traditions behind it. Focusing on the text as a literary entity, J. Ramsey
Michaels shows John to be a unified composition, neither dependent on the
other three Gospels nor totally independent of them.
Seventeen years in the making, reflecting fifty years of classroom teaching,
packed with fresh insights, and displaying a great deal of independent judgment,
this landmark commentary will prove to be highly useful not only to scholars
and students but also to its main target audience of pastors.
“Here is a substantial, truly original, work of extraordinary insight and helpfulness to pastor
and scholar alike, which should have a considerable life span well after both author and
editor have gone to their eternal reward.” — Gordon D. Fee (in Editor’s Preface)
J. Ramsey Michaels is professor emeritus of religious studies at Missouri
State University, Springfield, Missouri, and adjunct professor of New Testament
at Bangor Theological Seminary, Portland, Maine.

The Letter of James
Scot McKnight
A significant addition to an esteemed series, Scot McKnight’s commentary
expounds the letter of James both in its own context and in the context of
ancient Judaism, the Greco-Roman world, and the emerging Christian faith.
McKnight interprets the letter rigorously in light of what James says elsewhere
in his letter instead of smothering James in the debates and categories of others.
Shaped for pastors, teachers, and scholars, McKnight’s Letter of James — full of
insight, good sense, and wit — will be a valuable resource for all those who seek
to explain this letter and its significance to congregations and classes today.
“Scholarly, engaging, and timely — all in the same book! . . . With today’s communities
trying to find biblical solutions to the same kinds of problems addressed in James, McKnight’s
voice is a welcomed one in the conversation.”
— Douglas Huffman
