A Plea to Purchase

The epistles of John are not as well known as some other literature in the New Testament. Sadly!! This is a great resource for the pastor who wants to provide a sermon series on the neglected Johannine epistles. This is a model commentary on 1, 2, and 3 John and may be used by the pastor in a way that fulfills the purpose and intent of the Interpretation commentary series. I recommend this book highly. D. Moody Smith has written a book on the three Johannine letters marked by clarity and interpretive acumen. I found it to be extremely helpful in preparing both Sunday School lessons and sermons on these little known letters.
