An illustrated commentary on the Gospel according to St. John by Lyman Abbott
"An Illustrated Commentary on the Gospel According to St. John" by Lyman Abbott is a religious commentary written in the late 19th century. This volume aims to provide insights and explanations of the text of the Gospel, making it accessible for family use and for Christian workers across various denominations. With a focus on clarifying the principles that Jesus Christ sought to convey, it is structured as an educational tool for those
engaged in Christian work, including ministers, teachers, and lay preachers. The opening of the commentary presents the preface where Abbott outlines the objectives and methodology of his work. He emphasizes the intention to assist readers in understanding the core messages of the Gospel, presenting interpretations that prioritize clarity over scholarly controversy. Abbott indicates that the commentary will contain detailed notes and illustrations, focusing on the practical application of John's teachings rather than devotional sentiment. He expresses hope that readers will glean genuine insights into the nature of Christ and deepen their understanding of the Christian faith through this structured exploration of the Gospel according to St. John.
