The three epistles of John occupy only five or six pages of an English Bible, yet they are among the most intriguing writings of the New Testament. Were they written by one person or more In what sort of community did they originate, and what situation are they addressing What is the background to their thought How do they relate to the Gospel of John What is their theological message, and does it have any relevance to the modern world These are some of the issues considered in this student textbook Guide to the Johannine epistles.
Ruth Edwards was formerly, teacher of New Testament at King's College, Aberdeen.
