Aside from the fact that it is perhaps the single most discussed and controversial theological writing of the century, no one knowledgeable of Bultmann's work could doubt its basic importance for his entire contribution. Although the position is for which it argues was hardly new, having already taken shape in several of his theological essays written during the 1920s, it is nevertheless the classic formulation of this position and as such incomparable in the Bultmann corpus.

Rudolf Bultmann's commentary on the Gospel of John stands as a pivotal work in New Testament scholarship, noted for its technical rigor and originality. It is often regarded as the most significant monograph of the twentieth century, rivaled only by Albert Schweitzer's work. Bultmann's approach contrasts sharply with other paradigms, showcasing his dominance in early-Christianity studies. Ernst Haenchen famously likened the commentary to a giant oak tree, highlighting its overwhelming influence on Continental Protestant scholarship for many years.
