Book Description:

This book shows that the Johannine Epistles have a distinctive contribution to make both to the Johannine tradition and to the theology of the New Testament as a whole. Their importance within New Testament thought, complementary to the theology of the Fourth Gospel, is seen to be one of tensions-in-unity between, for example, confidence and imperative, individual and community, and faith and tradition.
