Commentary
PNTC: The Letters of John
Outline: This commentary by the author provides an excellent exposition of John's letters for teachers and pastors working at all levels of Christian ministry, at the same time it offers students and general readers clear insight into the meaning of these Scriptures for the contemporary Christian life. In the author treatment of introductory matters related to 1, 2, and 3 John, the author discuses the historical context out of which these leters arose - the crisis of secession with the Johannine community - and explores the questions of authorship, audience, purpose, genre, and theological themes. The author then provides verse-by-verse commentary on each letter, delying in depth into what John teaches Jesus, the atonement, the role of Spirit, Christian assurance, the meaning of koinonia, and eternal life. This highly relevant study brings readers to the central message of John's exhortations - the importance of holding fast to the gospel of Christ and obeying his command to love one another.
