Raymond E. Brown was a biblical scholar, and this Anchor Bible volume is his standard scholarly commentary and translation covering chapters one through twelve of the Gospel of John. Its strength is that Brown was among the most respected Johannine scholars of his generation, and the Anchor Bible commentary series is a widely used standard reference across biblical scholarship regardless of confessional position. Its limit is that it covers only the Gospel's first twelve chapters, so a claim resting on the Gospel's later chapters needs Brown's companion volume or another source covering that later material specifically.
