I am working on an ongoing series in which I look at the Epistles of John. I hope to read the Epistles of John, a few verses at a time, without getting ahead of myself. Each reading will be brief, but hopefully you can find something enlightening. My hope is to move outside of questions of authorship and trajectories that plague my typical historical-critical approach in order to arrive at a more confessional interpretation of the text. Read and enjoy!
