D. A. Carson’s “The Farewell Discourse and Final Prayer of Jesus” is as the subtitle says, “an evangelical exposition of John 14-17”. It is not a technical commentary nor light devotions, but a study of these five chapters that is deep but accessible to a popular audience.
One of the things I appreciate about this book (and Carson’s work in general) is that he will show different interpretive options, then explain why he chooses one over the others. In doing so he models how to study the Bible as well as explains a particular passage. This book has a good balance of developing theological understandings from the text as well as showing the application to believer’s lives.
In addition to personal study, I would recommend this for any preacher or Bible teacher. It would also make a good resource for adult small group studies provided the leader would prepare discussion questions.
