The Johannine Writings

by Paul Wilhelm Schmiedel

Book Overview

The Johannine Writings is a book written by Paul W. Schmiedel that provides a comprehensive analysis of the Johannine literature in the New Testament. The book is divided into three parts: the Gospel of John, the Epistles of John, and the Book of Revelation. In the first part, Schmiedel examines the Gospel of John, which he argues is distinct from the synoptic Gospels in its theology, style, and structure. He explores the themes of light and darkness, truth and error, and life and death that run throughout the Gospel. He also discusses the controversies surrounding the authorship of the Gospel and the historical context in which it was written.In the second part of the book, Schmiedel focuses on the three Epistles of John. He analyzes the language and style of each epistle and explores the themes of love, obedience, and truth that are prominent in them. He also discusses the relationship between the Johannine community and the wider Christian church.The final part of the book is devoted to the Book of Revelation. Schmiedel provides a detailed analysis of the symbolism and imagery used in the book and explores its historical and cultural context. He also discusses the various interpretations of the book throughout history and its relevance for contemporary readers.Overall, The Johannine Writings is a comprehensive and insightful study of the Johannine literature in the New Testament. It is an essential resource for scholars and students of the Bible and anyone interested in understanding the unique perspectives and themes of these important texts.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
