Reviews

[Christopher-James Neethling · Rating 5 out of 5]

I thought this was an excellent resource on John's three epistles. Didn't make for hard or technical, but rather simple and straightforward reading.

[Rob · Rating 4 out of 5]

Written by a New Testament historian, this concise commentary fills out the historical background of 1-3 John and expounds upon each verse clearly without sacrificing academic rigor. Endnotes document Bruce's research and provide extra details for the curious.

Excellent.
