John’s faith portrait of Jesus in this Gospel departs significantly from those of the Synoptic Gospels. Scott Lewis invites readers not to approach the text with preconceived ideas, but as if we are reading it for the first time. The first of the Johannine Letters is more of a homily while the short and terse second and third ones follow the style of ancient letter writing. Lewis calls them “examples of moral exhortation” by the writer who encourages his believing community to behave in a manner consistent with their faith. Today’s Christian communities will see their own problems, disagreements, and divisions mirrored in this valuable correspondence so ably explained by the commentator.
