"The latest addition to the BECNT series is not narrowly exegetical
but is intended to help preachers and general readers apprehend the
message of 1-3 John for today. It offers a meticulously detailed
study of the Greek text (including special attention to textual
variants) that will provide students with ample information on
every aspect of the argument of the letters. This commentary well
maintains the standards that we have come to expect from this
series."--I. Howard Marshall, University of Aberdeen
"By attempting to read 1-3 John in a fresh way, uncoerced by
(though not uninformed by) scholarly tradition, Yarbrough offers a
helpful and often different perspective on the Johannine Epistles.
I find especially helpful his illuminating engagement with the
history of interpretation, his careful attention to textual
questions, and his quite insightful appeal to the language of the
Greek version of the Old Testament (the background John and his
audience shared)."--Craig S. Keener, Palmer Seminary
"Despite the author's modesty, there is no other commentary like
it on these epistles; it relates the Johannine letters to aspects
of Jesus's work or teaching and brings into play ancient texts as
well as the latest scholarly research. Yarbrough also writes as a
seasoned scholar with a pastor's heart and deep cross-cultural
concerns. This rigorous yet very readable commentary is for
students and pastors alike to guide their study and enhance their
preaching."--Graham H. Twelftree, School of Divinity, Regent
University
"Yarbrough's fine volume on the Letters of John is a refreshing
and well-crafted commentary. I appreciate his informed discussions
of the meanings and uses of Johannine terms, his overall canonical
approach to these documents in his exegesis, and his concern to
address the wider theological implications of the biblical text.
This edifying and stimulating commentary encourages the reader to
approach the text reverently and to respond positively to the word
of God."--Peter T. O'Brien, Moore College, Sydney, Australia
"A model of evangelical scholarship. Yarbrough's thorough
interaction with the literature, informative treatment of the
biblical text, and clarity of articulation combine to make this
commentary one that anyone interested in these New Testament
writings will need to consult. This is a significant contribution
to the Baker Exegetical Commentary series!"--Philip H. Towner, Nida
Institute for Biblical Scholarship, American Bible Society
