Absolute pleasure to study this wonderfully wrought and near perfect work! Splendid in literary symmetry, Volume 1 offers amazing instruction on John’s gospel, up to chapter 11:54! Loaded with insights and compact in presentation Dods proclaims that "Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God!" With utmost simplicity of language, he etches sharp, unforgettable pictures of those scenes which to him were most significant in revealing Christ’s power and goodness, and most displayed that God the Father dwelt within Him. Memorable!
