The NIV Application Commentary helps you communicate and apply
biblical text effectively in today's context. John weaves together
themes of light and darkness, falsehood and truth, and what it
means to be children of God in community. He explores the theme of
love as central to God's nature and thus as the defining
characteristic of those who follow him. The Letters of John teach
us about handling conflict, discerning orthodox belief, and
measuring Christian conduct. Gary Burge shares perspectives on
John's letters that reveal their enduring relevance for our
twenty-first-century lives. To bring the ancient messages of the
Bible into today's context, each passage is treated in three
sections: Original Meaning. Concise exegesis to help readers
understand the original meaning of the biblical text in its
historical, literary, and cultural context. Bridging Contexts. A
bridge between the world of the Bible and the world of today, built
by discerning what is timeless in the timely pages of the Bible.
Contemporary Significance. This section identifies comparable
situations to those faced in the Bible and explores relevant
application of the biblical messages. The author alerts the readers
of problems they may encounter when seeking to apply the passage
and helps them think through the issues involved. This unique,
award-winning commentary is the ideal resource for today's
preachers, teachers, and serious students of the Bible, giving them
the tools, ideas, and insights they need to communicate God's Word
with the same powerful impact it had when it was first written.
