The Living Faith Bible Commentary: General Epistles

About the Book

The Living Faith Bible Commentary series combines a practical, commonsense approach to scripture with the tools to develop a deeper understanding of God's word.

Perfect for personal devotion, classroom teaching or group discussion, the commentary series includes a basic introduction to each New Testament book, the full text of the scripture that is being studied, the spiritual insights and applications of each verse, and group discussion questions at the conclusion of each chapter. For the advanced student of scripture, endnotes include a workable apparatus for textual variants, embellishment of various Greek words, optional readings found in early English and contemporary versions, and further elaboration of some basic doctrinal truths.

The General Epistles provide a wealth of wisdom and truth for believers today. In these letters, we find the meaning of faith in action in the book of James, the promise of victory over suffering in 1 and 2 Peter, a warning against false teachers and doctrines in 1 John and Jude, the commandment to love one another in 2 John and the meaning of hospitality and faithfulness in 3 John. Faith truly comes alive by the study and application of these brief yet meaningful books.
