bulletContemporary Commentary, Studies, and Exegesis:
bullet "Exegetical Considerations," Reformation Sunday, Richard Carlson, Lutheran Theological Seminary at Gettysburg, Using Greek for Sunday Text Preparations.
bullet"How might this text which says nothing about justification by grace through faith relate to a Reformation Sunday message of justification by grace through faith?"
bulletExegetical Notes by Brian P. Stoffregen at CrossMarks
bullet"If we follow Luther and understand "sin" as self-centeredness, then those who are doing self-centered things become slaves to themselves -- their own wants and desires. Often this is how people may understand freedom -- doing whatever I want to do. But that definition of freedom is actually slavery to one's self. Being set free means having our desires and centeredness turned away from ourselves."
bullet Exegesis, Reformation Sunday, by Richard Donovan at lectionary.org.
bullet "Why Bother with Reformation?" Bruce Modahl. Commentary from The Christian Century, October, 1999. At Religion Online.
bullet"A premise of scripture is that we are not free and sovereign. We are servants of one lord or the other."
bullet "True Freedom & Independence," Dale Fletcher, Faith and Health Connection.
bullet Commentary by Hall Harris at the Biblical Studies Foundation.
bullet"In what sense did the Jewish leaders trust Jesus? It is perhaps better to translate this "believe" than "trust". They had believed his messianic claims (8:25) which he had spoken to them from the beginning. But they had insisted on believing Jesus to be the type of Messiah they had anticipated--chiefly political."
bullet "Like Father, Like Son: The Role of Abraham in Tabernacles - John 8:31-59," Mary Coloe, 1999.
bullet "Wrestling with Johannine Anti-Judaism: A Hermeneutical Framework for the Analysis of the Current Debate," R. Bieringer, D. Pollefeyt, F. Vandecasteele-Vanneuville, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium. Bible and Interpretation.
bullet"The locus classicus of this problem is John 8:31-59 where, at the climax of the conflict, the Johannine Jesus refers to the Jews as children of the devil (8:44). We are confronted here with alleged anti-Jewish tendencies at the core of a central expression of the Christian faith, not just localised in one place of worship, but with universal impact."
bullet "Liar Liar and 'This Woman' in John 7:1 - 8:59: From Rhetorical Analysis to Intertextual Reading," Jeffrey L. Staley, Seattle University.
