This review is from: The Johannine Epistles (Hardcover)

Rufolf Schnackenburg's commentary on the Johanine Letters is one of the best ever written. The author works with the historical critical method, and he has made a work that can enrich your spiritual life. His work does not have as encyclopedic size as Raymond E Brown's, but you fill find it always helpul, because Schnackenburg takes time to offer sound solutions that any johananine reader can find. This new revised edition is a serious need if you consider that R. Schnakenburg has been humble enough to accept somebody else was right and he was wrong (by example he accepts now that 2 Jn's phrase ''to walk en aletheia'' doesn't simply mean ''to walk'', but to walk in the truth in its particular johanine sense. Rudolf Schnakenburg is a believer exegete and this really is a good notice. Buy this book, read it with a prevous prayer and Jesus will make you happy.
