The author provides a well-rounded form of commentary. She provides a translation of each section, comments somewhat on significant textual variants and points of comment regarding the Greek text and grammar, and spends most of the time not only discussing the substance of what transpires within the text but also explains it in terms of the greater frameworks of the Johannine Gospel itself, Second Temple Judaism, and also in comparison to / contrast with the Synoptics.
I appreciated the author's willingness to understand the Gospel on its own terms; she does not subscribe to the "Johannine community development" hypothesis. Dating is assumed to be in the 70s or 80s, and she does not speculate much in terms of authorship. Much of what is set forth is generally conventional and remains mostly attached to context; denominational agendas are not advanced to any significant degree. I agree with her assessment of the pericope of the adulterous woman (John 7:53-8:11), as a legitimate story of the Jesus tradition but highly unlikely to be originally written where it is currently placed. The theory of Lazarus as the "beloved disciple" is interesting and creative although I do not ultimately find it persuasive.
On the whole a well presented commentary, worthy of consideration.
