BRF is pleased to have completed the People's Bible Commentary in 2006. We were delighted when the Archbishop of Canterbury recommended the PBC Commentary on St John's Gospel by Richard Burridge as preparatory reading for the Lambeth Conference, due to take place in July 2008.
The Archbishop suggests reading John's Gospel as the biblical focus for this gathering of Anglican bishops worldwide, which happens once every ten years. He describes the PBC John commentary as 'one of the finest and most accessible of modern studies'.
The PBC Commentary on John's Gospel is a combination of excellent, yet accessible scholarship with BRF's expertise in daily Bible reading. Following recent developments in academic research on the gospels, it stresses the narrative of the Gospel, studying it section by section, rather than verse by verse. It is also designed for daily use with prayer and meditation.
