Biblical Foundations Book Awards Finalist The Catholic Epistles
often get short shrift. Tucked into a few pages near the back of
our Bibles, these books are sometimes referred to as the
"non-Pauline epistles" or "concluding letters," maybe getting
lumped together with Hebrews and Revelation. Yet these letters,
Darian Lockett argues, are treasures hidden in plain sight, and
it's time to give them the attention they deserve. In Letters for
the Church, Lockett reveals how the Catholic Epistles provide a
unique window into early Christian theology and practice. Based on
evidence from the early church, he contends that the seven letters
of James, 1-2 Peter, 1-3 John, and Jude were accepted into the
canon as a collection and should be read together. Here Lockett
introduces the context and content of the Catholic Epistles while
emphasizing how all seven letters are connected. Each chapter
outlines the author, audience, and genre of one of the epistles,
traces its flow of thought, and explores shared themes with the
other Catholic Epistles. The early church valued the Catholic
Epistles for multiple reasons: they defend orthodox faith and
morals against the challenges of heretics, make clear that
Christianity combines belief with action, and round out the New
Testament witness to Christian faith and life. By introducing the
coherent vision of these seven epistles, Letters for the Church
helps us rediscover these riches.
