In this important new commentary, Earl Palmer shares full measure of his well-known skills as a dynamic communicator and gifted expositor. The time is opportune. The Letters of John, have apparently seemed too simple to have received the attention they deserve. While they have suffered dry and technical treatment from most biblical interpreters, Palmer catches hold of the fire and joy of John's Letters and frees the reader to experience the full impact of their message not only to the early church but to us today about life, light (truth), and love.
