The new edition includes more than 4,800 resources available at more than 10,000 Internet sites that provide information on a range of biblical study topics including Bible translations in English and other languages, audio translations of the Bible in English and other languages, commentaries, dictionaries, and other resource materials including ones in Greek, Hebrew and other ancient languages. The author also has adopted a new method of referencing and cataloging the most widely used web pages to facilitate a major expansion of resources without increasing the physical length of the book itself. In cases when ten or more resources are listed on a single web page, the author has assigned the web page a three-digit code. The code is used to identify this web page as a major resource within the main text, while any needed instructions for use of the site are cross-referenced separately in the final chapter. In adopting this concise method, the author was able to add hundreds of additional or updated web resources, a surprising number of which can be downloaded onto a hard drive for immediate and continued use.

From cover to cover, conception to completion this book is about Jesus. It addresses and answers the fundamental question of His identity, and mission. The book never waivers from this original purpose and structure. Who better to inform us of Jesus than John, "the discipline whom Jesus loved," the person to whom Jesus often confided in and to whom He ultimately entrusted with His own future "Revelation?" And who better to expose these truths than Mr. George N.H. Peters, gifted Bible teacher and faithful steward of the Word of God throughout his lifetime. Composed in the form of study notes, the author directs attention away from modern mystical interpretations of this Gospel towards what John intended to accomplish, i.e. confront the reader with the predicted Messiah, Jesus, and in so doing provide reasons to "believe" and through believing find the very promise of eternal life. John calls this work his "testimony," like a witness pleading before a jury of his peers he lays out a selection of evidence. He claims that he could easily have written volumes but these "things" he wrote so that the reader might believe. The beauty of this book lies in the evidence John chooses to put forth, the impact of the book (slightly over 100 years old) stems from the ability of Mr. Peters to point out these things and then allow the testimony to speak for itself. Over the last century many able men and women have undertaken to expound the Gospel of John. The reader will not find a more plainly written account than what Mr Peters penned during the last years of his life.
