Introduction to the Johannine Writings (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Explore the Johannine Writings with a careful, scholar‑driven approach. This study surveys the Gospel of John, its Epistles, and the Apocalypse, clarifying authorship, dating, and purpose to help readers understand their place in early Christian thought.

This edition frames the books as independent works written for specific ends. It explains the Epistle’s role in edification for believers and its polemical stance against competing views about Christ. It situates John’s writings within broader debates about Gnosticism and the early church’s struggle to maintain doctrinal unity in Asia Minor and beyond.
