A fine "pastoral" commentary on the Gospel of John. It is the final work of renowned scholar, pastor and teacher Archbishop Dimitri Royster.
"The great strength of this work is precisely that it lays no claim to originality but that it steadfastly seeks to give us access to material that can replenish the faith of Christians today." – Prof. William J. Abraham, from the Foreword

The Holy Gospel According to Saint John: A Pastoral Commentary
It is fitting, given Archbishop Dmitri’s continual preaching “in season, and out of season” on the reality of the Incarnation, that his final book would be this fine commentary on the Gospel according to St John: “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us.”

The Holy Gospel According to Saint John: A Pastoral Commentary
Scholar, pastor, teacher — all of these aspects of Archbishop Dmitri’s ministry shine forth in this commentary on St John’s Gospel — the final work of his fruitful life. Vladyka Dmitri reminds us again of the centrality of the “Word Made Flesh.” I rejoice that we have such a valuable resource from his hand.
