If you’re interested in my new book, The Epistles of John: Origins, Authorship, Purpose, follow this link to access a free chapter (ch. 5) for free in May only. It is my favorite chapter of the text, one that argues for a radically different reading of 1 John, and which functions as a brief commentary on the text. Here’s the abstract: “The chapter rethinks the message and purpose 1 John. It casts the epistle as the vehicle of a radical perfectionist theology, in which those ‘born of God’ ‘do not sin’ – a view with parallels in ancient Jewish and Christian thought.”
