1-3 John

  • 1 Want to read

Robert Yarbrough, coauthor of the leading New Testament survey text Encountering the New Testament, here offers a historical and theological commentary on the Johannine Epistles. The commentary explores the relationship between John's Epistles and Jesus's work and teaching, interacts with recent commentaries, reviews the history of interpretation, and seeks to relate these findings to global Christianity. Yarbrough looks at the Johannine Epistles from several perspectives -- sociological, historical, and theological. The result is a guide that clearly and meaningfully brings 1-3 John to life for contemporary readers. - Publisher.
