(Full review at SpoiledMilks, 11/14/19)
Craig Keener is a prolific scholar.Ã? Everything he writes is quality, nuanced, well-read, and usually massive. Keener understands wide swaths of Jewish and Greco-Roman literature. This commentary is a condensed version of his 2-volume John commentary.Ã? There are still references here to Jewish and Greco-Roman writings, Roman and Hellenistic culture, but there areÃ? no footnotesÃ? (only 1,500 endnotes).
TheÃ? Zondervan Illustrated Bible Background Commentary seriesÃ? aims to give Christians ââ?¬Å"good historical informationââ?¬Â? about the Bible without givingÃ? allÃ? of the information that can be given.Ã? There are ââ?¬Å"hundreds of photos, maps, charts, artwork, timelines, sidebars, and reflections within these pages.Ã?
* Keener provides a two-page spread on who the Samaritans were (John 4).Ã?
* Though he doesn�t believe the story of the woman caught in adultery to be canonical, he explores what Jesus may have written on the ground (John 8:6, 8).
* He gives five pages to different topics in John 10, ââ?¬Å"Figurative Use of Shepherds in Antiquity,ââ?¬Â? ââ?¬Å"The Sheep Image,ââ?¬Â? ââ?¬Å"Thieves and Robbers,ââ?¬Â? and ââ?¬Å"Sheep Pens and Gates.ââ?¬Â?
* Other topics covered would be the Jewish understanding of ââ?¬Å"The Name,ââ?¬Â? the understanding of the Holy Spirit as ââ?¬Å"The Advocate,ââ?¬Â? the meanings of ââ?¬Å"The Spirit of Truthââ?¬Â? and ââ?¬Å"Indwelling of Deity,ââ?¬Â? ââ?¬Å"The Vine,ââ?¬Â? ââ?¬Å"Pruning, ââ?¬Å"Ancient Friendship Ideals,ââ?¬Â? ââ?¬Å"Resurrection,ââ?¬Â? ââ?¬Å"Parallels to the Resurrection Appearances?,ââ?¬Â? etc.

This series gives more information per verse than a study Bible and less than the larger commentaries. It�s great for a layperson wanting to dive deeper into the text without getting in over their heads.
