This short book is a careful study of the profound and rich tenth chapter of the Gospel of John. A masterful exposition, it combines the elements of instruction, devotion, comfort, exhortation and controversy. Glorious Christian doctrines (with which the chapter is filled) are clearly and winsomely explained and applied—incarnation, atonement, predestination, the eternal Godhead of Jesus and more. Common misunderstandings are cleared up, e.g., that the shepherd of verse 2 is Jesus Himself. Sharp warning is directed against threats to the church in the present day particularly the presence of pastors and “evangelists” who refuse to enter the sheepfold by the door and who are mere hirelings.
