Das Johannes-Evangelium

Bernhard Weiss, a prominent German Protestant theologian, published this commentary on the Gospel of John in 1893 as part of his larger effort to provide critical, exegetical analysis of the New Testament. Produced by the venerable academic publisher Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht, the volume emerged during a period of rigorous historical-critical inquiry into the authorship and theological structure of the Fourth Gospel, reflecting the meticulous scholarship characteristic of late 19th-century German divinity studies.

Weiss was known for his conservative yet scientifically methodical approach to biblical texts, aiming to balance traditional theological views with the burgeoning demands of modern textual criticism. His design for this commentary focused on providing a comprehensive verse-by-verse analysis that prioritized the internal consistency of the text. The work was well-received by his contemporaries for its clarity and scholarly depth, cementing his reputation as one of the definitive exegetes of his generation.
