- Notes
- Carson's own contribution to the series he edits, and the volume most often named as the best evangelical commentary on John. It is also the book at the centre of a later scandal in another series: Andreas Köstenberger's John in the Baker Exegetical Commentary, catalogued here, was withdrawn by Baker Academic in 2017 after Köstenberger reported that it carried unattributed borrowings from this commentary. Open Library's record credits “D.C. Carson”, a slip for D. A. Carson.
