Dear Eileen,
> Our group's original aim was to improve our knowledge of Biblical Greek, but we are finding that the commentary also gives us fresh insights into a very familiar book. We are finding it so useful that I had intended (when I could get up my courage to make a posting on b-greek) to ask if anyone knew of a similar commentary on John's Gospel!

Here is some data from Amazon.com. The difference in this more modern
volume is that thee is no use of Greek. However, there are many fine
commentaries on John that do use the Greek:
The Gospel according to John (Cambridge Bible Commentaries on the New
Testament) (Paperback)
by Alan Hunter (Editor) "In order to read a New Testament book
intelligently, we must know, if possible, who wrote it, where, when, why
and for whom..." (more)
Book Description
This volume on John's Gospel is one of the series of commentaries on
the New English Bible is designed for use in schools and colleges, and
for the minister and the layman. Each volume comments on one book, or a
few short books, of the Bible, and in each the text is given in full.
Sections of text and commentary alternate, so that the reader does not
have to keep two books open, or turn from one part of the book to the
other, or refer to a commentary in small type at the foot of the page.
Great care has been taken to see that the commentary is suitable for the
student and the layman: there is no Greek or Hebrew, and no strings of
biblical references, but the commentary does convey the latest and best
scholarship. The general editors all have experience of teaching or
examining in school and working with adults. In addition to the general
introductory volume, Understanding the New Testament, there is a volume
of maps and plates, New Testament Illustrations.
