An Introduction to the Gospel of John (The Anchor Yale Bible Reference Library)
Advance Praise forAn Introduction to the Gospel of John“A bittersweet read!  Intended as the introduction to a major revision of the landmark Anchor Bible commentary on John, but sadly cut off by his death in 1998, this work stands alone as a magnificent survey of major issues in the study of the Fourth Gospel.  With his accustomed thoroughness and respect for the work of others, even in disagreement, Brown updates and often moves beyond positions first articulated over three decades ago.  Scholars will be long in debt to Francis Moloney for his own insightful introduction and conclusion as well as for signposts along the way which point to shifts  in Brown's work along with developments subsequent to his death, and current bibliography.  This eminently readable work will extend the influence of Brown well into the present century.”—Fr. John Donahue, Raymond E. Brown Distinguished Professor of New Testament Studies, St. Mary’s Seminary and UniversityPraise forAn Introduction to the New Testament“A truly magnificent book, composed by our Catholic national treasure.”--Commonweal“A tour de force by a great scholarly mind.”—AmericaPraise forTheDeath of the Messiah“Father Raymond Brown has a strong claim to be the most distinguished of American New Testament scholars, and he has few competitors worldwide.”—New York Times“A stunning aray of fresh insights into how the passion stories came into being and what—scene by scene—the four Evangelists really say about the arrest and crucifixion of Jesus.”—Newsweek“The Death of the Messiahis first of all a scholarly work, but it is also enjoyably readable and accessible to the interested layman.”—NewsdayPraise forThe Birth of the Messiah“Brown manages to rescue the Christmas story from both the contempt of experts and the sentimentality of naïve laymen…Ordinary Christians can thank this priestly scholar for helping them to put the adult Christ back into Christmas.”—Newsweek“Recommended to readers at all levels and without reservation.”—America--This text refers to an alternateHardcoveredition.
