Challenging gnositicizing interpretations of the letter, Terry
Griffith explores how the polemic against idols was variously used
in Jewish and Christian circles to define self-identity and the
limits of community. He shows that the rhetoric of 1 John is not
polemical, but pastoral, directed at confirming Johannine
Christians in their fundamental confession of faith and preventing
further defections of Jewish Christians back to Judaism. Griffith
argues that the christological focus in 1 John concerns the
identification of Jesus as the Messiah, and that the ending of the
letter both contributes to the author's overall pastoral strategy
and sheds light on the issues of sin and christology that are
raised in this letter.>
