Two of F.F. Bruce's commentaries, The Gospel of John and The Epistles of John, are combined in this one convenient volume. Dr. Bruce intended these commentaries for general Christians interested in serious Bible study, and his goal was to communicate what he learned of the message and meaning of both the Gospel of John and John's three epistles. His choice to focus on the message and meaning means that textual, linguistic, and other critical concerns are only lightly touched upon, although they are not ignored. His extensive documentation shows an easy familiarity with the textual and linguistic issues, but his focus is on applying the meaning of the texts to readers today. Features: - Theologically conservative (Evangelical)
- A comprehensive look at all the biblical writings by the apostle John
- Uses Bruce's own translation of the Greek using the Nestle-Aland edition of 1979
- A verse-by-verse exposition of the meaning and message of the Gospel of John, 1 John, 2 John and 3 John
- Non-technical (transliteration of Greek words, along with a brief explanation)
- Geared for educated Christians seeking in-depth study, but not meant for professional students, or teachers.
