It's almost understandable that First and Second John often get overlooked. If you're moving through the Bible in order (as we have been), you've endured huge works like Acts and Romans and tricky works like James and First John and the end is now in sight. And what a finish line it is—the ever-daunting and ever-hopeful book of Revelation! So, again, it's easy to ignore the little notes that stand in the way. However, as we'll be reminded this week and next, to overlook them would be to do ourselves a great disservice.

To curate for us the significance of Second and Third John, Dr. Danny Akin joins us on the podcast. Dr. Akin currently serves as the president of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake Forest, North Carolina. He’s a teacher, theologian, and very productive author whose works include a preaching commentary on the two little books in question today.
