Description

The three New Testament letters of John are concerned with the development and well-being of the early Christian congregations.

Although written in the first century, the letters remain a source of wisdom and inspiration for people today.

Respected Christian Community priest Roger Druitt offers a new translation of the letters alongside a thought-provoking commentary, which includes both the historical and cultural background to the letters and insightful studies on key aspects such as righteousness, love and truth.

Throughout, the author illuminates the truly modern character of the letters, showing how they speak to a universal vision of humanity.
