The three epistles of John, the beloved apostle, urge the church to love one another as God has loved them. Gary Derickson shows how these works provide encouragement for believers and warn against the rise of false teachers. Being careful to avoid speculative theories, Derickson focuses on John's pastoral concerns. He examines the Greek text in detail, interacting with the most recent scholarship, and he presents the message of these epistles for the benefit of believers everywhere.
