Exploring the Bible with Mel Barror

These two “Books” of the New Testament are not related in any way. They are here together for teaching purposes due to their brevity and similarity in form and purpose. Their writers are unknown, and they are clearly not ‘letters’ in the understood manner, rather, they are more like written sermons or teachings of late first-century Christian thinking. But you will be pleasantly surprised to read many passages or concepts that are of modern day thinking.

“John” is thought of as the gospel of love because of the many times it is mentioned. It was written near the end of the first century, after the writer and other Christians of that time had time to ponder the teachings of the other evangelists, and for John to develop his own theology. It is more theological than the other Gospels which are called the “synoptic” gospels, because of their similarity, and the way they see the life and teachings of Jesus in a more “earthly” way. If you keep this in mind it will help you better understand where John is coming from.
