John's Three Letters on Hope, Love and Covenant Fidelity - A Messianic Commentary

John's Three Letters include some of the most beloved and often-quoted portions of scripture. Countless sermons have been given on their verses, and they are intimately familiar to innumerable individuals across time. Therefore, most people conversant on the Bible - scholars included - are confident they already have John's letters figured out. But have they really? There is a need for a fresh and post-supersessionist reading of John's letters that challenges common presuppositions regarding their purpose, message and relevance. By delving into their original Jewish context we will discover a world of hope, love, and God's ongoing covenant-faithfulness to Israel. We will also demonstrate that the author's theology, particularly his understanding of the divine nature of Messiah, was thoroughly embedded within the Jewish world of the first century.
