Book Description
Out of a background of syncretism, confusion, and heresy came three of the most hard-hitting writings of the New Testament. As first-century Christianity entered its last decade, mystery religions, Judaism, fertility cults, Platoism, astrology, religious and philosophical dualism, Stoicism, magic, and many other confusing voices clamored for the popular ear. To refute those heresies and confirm young believers in their knowledge of the truth, the apostle John wrote three powerful letters of encouragement and exhortation. This exhaustive commentary is a significant reference tool for the pastor studying and teaching the three epistles of John and for the student who wants to become more familiar with the apostle's writings. - Back cover.

Book Description
Though the Letters of John appear to be among the simplest books in the New Testament, beneath their superficial simplicity lies a minefield of complexities that have generated difficult debates among Christians over the centuries.

The Letters of John the Apostle
A Commentary on the Letters of John
Author: David Pawson
Publisher: Anchor Recordings Limited
ISBN: 9781909886698
Category : Bible
Languages : en
Pages : 174
Book Description
Those who enjoy reading other people's correspondence should welcome much of the New Testament! It is surprising that God chose such personal and particular letters to convey his Word. Little did the original authors realise they were writing scripture for people through all history and in all the earth. In the first epistle, the apostle John echoes the stark contrasts in his Gospel, reminding his readers of the choice between living in the 'darkness' of lust, lies and lawlessness or the 'light' of love and life. He encourages all believers, young and old, to be satisfied, sinless, safe and sure, grounded in the Word made flesh rather than deceived by the world in its folly. The second and third are addressed to a woman and a man respectively, reflecting the weaknesses of their gender: emphasising love at the expense of truth and vice-versa.

TNTC Letters of John

Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
John's affection for the recipients of his letters is clear: 'They are his "dear children", his "dear friends",' as John Stott points out. He continues, '[John] longs to protect them from both error and evil, and to see them firmly established in faith, love and holiness. He has no new doctrine for them. On the contrary, he appeals to them to remember what they already know, have and are. Whenever innovators trouble the church, and ridicule whatever is old or traditional, we need to hear and heed John's exhortation, to continue in what we have learnt and received, and to let it continue in us.'

ISBN: 1783590807
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 205
Book Description
In a climate of disunity and doctrinal deviation, the apostle John called his first readers to live in the love and truth of God. David Jackman has no doubt that John's letters are a vital, powerful word from the Lord to the church today around the world. So often we take extreme positions, leading to a fragmentation of both churches and individuals. This book will help us to respond afresh to the apostle's call to love one another and live in the light
