Epistles Of John
$34.00Add to cartDavid Rensberger shows here how the Epistles of John spoke to the emerging concerns of an early Christian community that cherished John’s Gospel. The Epistles apply many of the themes of the Gospel to new situations. In particular the Elder, who writes these epistles, reminds his readers that their love of God must be made concrete in the love they show their fellow Christians. At the same time, Rensberger shows how these letters face the problems of theological disagreement and church division, and how they can help Christians today better understand theological diversity and the struggle for church unity.

Johannine Faith And Liberating Community
$32.00Add to cartBuilding on recent developments in biblical studies, David Rensberger explores new avenues of interpretation of the Fourth Gospel made possible by the rediscovery of its social and historical settings. He looks to the first generation of readers and considers the range of meanings the Gospel might have held for them. He sees that behind the “spiritual” there is the possibility of social and even political interpretations. He discusses the relation of John’s Gospel to liberation theology and to contemporary questions on the role of the church in the world.
