Welcome

"So come lose your life for a carpenter's son
For a madman who died for a dream
And you'll have the faith His first followers had
And you'll feel the weight of the beam"--Michael Card

Introduction to the Epistles of John

On Wednesday August 2, 2017 we started a brand new verse by verse study this time through the Epistles of John. We began this study as we do with any study of a biblical book by asking a few questions, questions like . . .

What type of literature is this?
What is an epistle?
Who write these three epistles?
When were they written?
By whom were they written?
What was the occasion of the writing?


We gave some of the cultural and historical background behind these letters in order to help us understand what is going on behind the text. Then we drew some conclusions about all this and began looking at the Second Epistle of John noting that it is impossible to know for certain in what order they were actually written.
