"The Gospel of John" by G.H.C. MacGregor is an essential volume within the renowned "Moffatt New Testament Commentary" series. This work provides an in-depth, scholarly analysis of the Fourth Gospel, utilizing James Moffatt's celebrated translation to bring fresh clarity to the biblical text. MacGregor offers a line-by-line examination of the narrative, focusing on the unique theological perspectives and historical context that define the Johannine tradition.

Designed to bridge the gap between technical scholarship and the needs of the general reader, the commentary explores key themes such as the divinity of Christ, the concept of the Logos, and the profound spiritual symbolism characteristic of John's writing. MacGregor's insights help illuminate the linguistic nuances and structural complexities of the Gospel, making it an invaluable resource for students of theology, clergy, and lay readers seeking a deeper understanding of the New Testament. This volume stands as a significant contribution to 20th-century biblical criticism, offering a rigorous yet accessible interpretation of one of Christianity's most influential and philosophically rich texts.

First Commentary on Mark: An Annotated Translation
This book is the first English translation of a text that Michael Cahill identifies as the first formal commentary on Mark's Gospel. Thought to have been written by an early seventh-century abbot, the commentary was for almost 1000 years attributed to St. Jerome and as such exercised incalculable influence on subsequent commentary. St. Thomas Aquinas drew on it freely in his <em>Catena Aurea</em>, for example, as did the highly influential Counter-Reformation commentary of Cornelius a Lapide. Renaissance scholarship demoted the work to the pseudepigrapha of Jerome and it clearly lost status as a result. However, the contemporary recovery of interest in the commentary tradition ensures a welcome for the publication of this translation. Irrespective of authorship, the text is important in the history of biblical interpretation--it is the first commentary on Mark, and has had wide influence in the Latin west. It is written in the allegorical style, and attempts to provide an application of the gospel text to the practice of Christian discipleship. It is characterized by the use of other biblical texts, and through the use of bold face and italics in the translation, the reader is able to see the extent of quotation, paraphrase, and allusion. The extensive notes are designed to provide information on source material and on the author's technique. As the first Markan commentary this text holds a unique place in the history of biblical exegesis. This translation will make it available to scholars who do not read Latin, and will serve as a useful introduction to early and medieval Bible commentary, both in format and content.
