Synopsis

The Zondervan Biblical and Theological Lectures series provides a unique audio learning experience. Unlike a traditional audiobook’s direct narration of a book’s text, 1 John: Audio Lectures include high quality live-recordings of college-level lectures that cover the important points from each subject as well as relevant material from other sources.In 1 John: Audio Lectures author and New Testament scholar Karen Jobes seeks to bridge the distance between academic biblical studies and pastors, students, and laypeople who are looking for an in-depth treatment of the issues raised by these New Testament books. She approaches the three letters of John as part of the corpus that includes John's gospel, while rejecting an elaborate redactional history of that gospel that implicates the letters. Jobes treats the major themes of the letters under the larger rubric of who has the authority to interpret the true significance of Jesus, an issue that is pressing in our religiously pluralistic society today with its many voices claiming truth about God.These audio lectures examine the literary context and structure of each passage in 1 John and provides verse-by-verse commentary and theology in application.

Goodreads review by Dan on January 05, 2018

There are many different types of commentaries, some are more scholarly, some are more devotional in nature. In the end while some are on either extreme, most fall somewhere in the middle, as is the case with Zondervan Exegetical Commetnary on the New Testament series published by Zondervan. The new......more

Goodreads review by Lindsay John on November 24, 2017

Karen Jobes, having written on the General Epistles already, is a fine choice for this commentary on the Johannine Epistles. Two distinctives set her 1, 2, & 3 John commentary apart from others. First, Jobes is unconvinced that 1 John responds to (proto-)Gnosticism. She also considers John’s Gospel......more

Goodreads review by Bob on June 25, 2018

Jobes’ commentaries strike such a brilliant balance between scholarship, exegesis and contemporary observations. This volume is no exception. She gives a helpful outline of each pericope, states clearly the main purpose, and concludes each section with application. Whenever I do a sermon series, I w......more

Goodreads review by Bradley on June 06, 2022

Excellent helps in breaking down what can be a difficult flow in I John in particular. Insightful with some helpful technical sections but the gold in Jobes is the concise and clear exegete. Makes for a great sermon study resource.......more
