The Epistles of John - NICNT

The three Epistles of John, accordng to I. Howard Marshall, are concerned with the fundamentals of Christian belief and life -- faith and love.  The reader who grasps the message of these short but essential letters will have a sound basis in Christian doctrine.  This group of epistles, says Marshall, is also a good starting point for the study of the Gospel of John.  This commentary, then, was written so that students of the Bible might not only master the content of John's Epistles but also better understand Johannine theology as a whole.
