5.0 out of 5 stars
Acknowledgment, Resolution, Pursuance, Psalm, May 13, 2005
This review is from: Love Supreme (Paperback)
There is so little written about these little letters and that which is out there is dull and so much Raymond Brownian bore. Callahan gets at the beautiful and thrilling truth that in these letters we have a fight on our hands. And just maybe the winner in the end isn't who we think it is. But more amazing--is that we have a bible that includes the fight, the disagreements. Callahan, points out the characters, the structure, the undertow in a way that makes these three little forgotten books compelling and important in a time when we need to be asking questions about the ramifications of calling THEM the enemy and US the righteous.
If you want to know about the epistles of John there really is no other book out there but this one. If you want to know what it means to love, this one helps there too.
