The Gospel of John

More about the book

Rudolf Bultmann's commentary on the Gospel of John stands as a pivotal work in New Testament scholarship, noted for its technical rigor and originality. It is often regarded as the most significant monograph of the twentieth century, rivaled only by Albert Schweitzer's work. Bultmann's approach contrasts sharply with other paradigms, showcasing his dominance in early-Christianity studies. Ernst Haenchen famously likened the commentary to a giant oak tree, highlighting its overwhelming influence on Continental Protestant scholarship for many years.
