Some of the most serious problems involved with interpreting John are due to the complex history of the Gospel's composition. While many scholars overlook the various inconsistencies and conflicting "voices" present in this Gospel, von Wahlde painstakingly examines them, exposing the distinct stages û and literary strata û in the Johannine tradition and showing how each represents a further theological development. In this third volume, von Wahlde provides an in-depth study of the three Johannine epistles. For each letter, he includes a new translation from the Greek, detailed notes on the individual verses, and commentary on each passage showing how it addresses the conflict that necessitated the letter. In addition, this volume contains nine appendices that explore major topics in both the Gospel and the Letters.
