1-3 John: Macarthur New Testament Commentary

The apostle John is really a man for our
time. He wrote his three New Testament
letters in a bold, direct, even dogmatic
manner-more so perhaps than any
other New Testament writer. Although
renowned traditionally as the apostle of
love (and he was), he was an authoritative,
uncompromising teacher-an
exclusive-style instructor with a crucial
message of truth versus error, a message
which the twenty-first century church
needs to hear.
