520 | 8 | _a"What is to be done when a community of faith experiences division? The letters of 1-3 John nurture and strengthen believers while being realistic about those who are causing problems. Love one another and be hospitable, but beware of rabble-rousers and do not back down in the face of their troublemaking ways. First John was written during an era when the church was splintering over different beliefs about the humanity of Christ (see 1 Jn 2:19). The goal was to strengthen the fellowship among like-minded congregations. The writer of 1 John challenges the claims from rival versions of the faith, tests each one, and then fully discredits them. His advice on how to respond to such dangerous beliefs? Demonstrate the ideal Christian life, teach followers how to tell the difference between those who are genuine and those who are false, and call people to remember what they have heard from the beginning of their faith. Similarly, 2 John emphasizes the serious nature of false teachings and encourages readers to be on their guard. The briefest book of the New Testament is 3 John, but its message is an important one. It compares the warmth and generosity offered by two different leaders of that religious community. A man named Gaius offered hospitality while a leader known as Diotrephes denied it to others ... the primary goal of the Smyth & Helwys Bible Commentary series is to make available serious, credible biblical scholarship in an accessible and less intimidating format. A visual generation of believers deserves a commentary series that contains not only the all-important textual commentary on Scripture, but images, photographs, maps, works of fine art, and drawings that bring the text to life. Each volume of the Smyth & Helwys Bible Commentary series features a CD-ROM, which expands the uses and capabilities of the Commentary even more"--Publisher description. | |
