The wisdom of John: where's the book?
I notice that there is no volume offered for the Gospel of John in the socio-rhetorical commentary series. There is however the MobileEd course NT221 called "The Wisdom of John: A Socio-Rhetorical Commentary on Johannine Literature" by Ben Witherington III. Hence the question, where's the book? Or which textbook is used?
In terms of rhetorical treatment of John, I have only found so far this https://www.logos.com/product/27734/the-gospel-of-john-in-cultural-and-rhetorical-perspective though I am not sure how it would align with the series above.

Francis, The NT221 "course" is HERE. It is comprised of a video series and syllabus by Dr. Witherington (Highly recommended, by the way). Within the courseware is link to a fathlife group with the recommended reading list (you may need to join the group to view the reading list).

The faithlife link does not work for me. So, I am still left with my original question. Is there a forthcoming book that Witherington uses in his course or what textbook(s) does he use?

I believe that this is the Faithlife link - https://faithlife.com/nt221
I am in the middle of taking this course too and highly recommend it.
The course recommends a Platinum Edition Logos package. So far there have been a variety of textbooks used. I have not seen a comprehensive list yet.

To answer your question: there is a book on the Gospel of John by Ben Witherington III (see here: http://www.benwitherington.com/books-11.html). But it is not in Logos and it is not used as a text book for the NT221 course. Whether the course is based on that book content wise or covers that content I cannot tell since I neither own that book nor have taken the course.
