Description of F. F Bruce, author of The Gospel and epistles of John:
Two of Bruce's commentaries, The Gospel of John and The Epistles of John, combined in one volume for the first time. Bruce intended these commentaries for general Christians interested in serious Bible study, and his goal was to communicate what he learned of the message and meaning of both the Gospel of John and John's three epistles. His choice to focus on the message and meaning means that textual, linguistic, and other critical concerns are only lightly touched upon, although they are not ignored. His extensive documentation shows an easy familiarity with the textual and linguistic issues, but his focus is on applying the meaning of the texts to readers today.Overview of The Gospel and epistles of John by F.F.
