Description

The letters from John to churches at the end of the first century CE offer profound theological insight for Christians today. In this commentary, Thomas Andrew Bennett explores the meaning and significance of 1-3 John, working from the assumption that these letters were written specifically for us. Bennett's approach is characterized by a commitment to historical accuracy while also delving into the deeper theological themes of the text. He provides a new translation of the Greek text, accompanied by verse-by-verse exegesis, and then reflects on topics such as trinitarianism, creation, faith, atonement, and the nature of divine and human love. This commentary is written for readers who may struggle with the Johannine metaphors, offering clarity and guidance. It will also provide pastors with detailed insights for teaching and preaching from 1-3 John.
