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.
