Overview

Originally published in two volumes, this popular commentary has been valued by Bible students for more than a century. The Genius of the Fourth Gospel is an intensely practical commentary which focuses on the issue of the message. As such, the commentary is a wonderful resource for teachers in lesson preparation. It is also an excellent commentary for use in personal devotional readings. The work is enormously practical in that it focuses on the events and the unfolding story in the text rather than grammar issues and word derivations.

All we know is, that the healing virtue was not in the means, but in Himself. It is the prerogative of Christ to produce grand results by feeble instrumentalities. The man went, after the application of the clay to his eyes, to Siloam, as directed.” (Page 264)

“It seems almost a law of mind that love must work to live. If it remain in the mind merely as a sentiment or emotion, it would perish.” (source)
