1-3 John - Concordia Commentary

<p><strong>In this Volume</strong></p><p>This commentary dwells on the theological and pastoral wisdom of the three epistles of John. Arguing for original authorship by John the beloved disciple and last living apostle it demonstrates that the epistles were generally well received by the early church. Based on the long oral ministry of John in Asia Minor the brief letters assume familiarity with the faith and take the form of a general epistle in 1 John an introductory letter in 2 John and a situation-specific personal and pastoral letter in 3 John which deals with the conduct of an errant church leader. In this original translation you'll find John's urging to rightly confess the faith in these the latter days.</p><p>Essays</p><ul><li>John's Occasion for Writing</li><li>On the 3 Epistles</li><li>John's Legacy</li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>About the series</strong></p><p>The Concordia Commentary Series: A Theological Exposition of Sacred Scripture is written to enable pastors and teachers of the Word to proclaim the Gospel with greater insight clarity and faithfulness to the divine intent of the Biblical text.</p><p>The series will cover all the canonical books of the Old and New Testament with an original translation and meticulous grammatical analysis of the Hebrew Aramaic or Greek of each text.
