Crossway Classic Commentaries: 1, 2, 3 John
Overview
John’s epistles have enriched and equipped the followers of Christ down through the centuries. The themes—such as walking in the truth, acknowledging our proneness to sin, being wary of the lies of the antichrist, and denying ourselves the empty enticements of the world—continue to be invaluable for the people of God. This classic commentary will help contemporary Christians obtain a deeper understanding of the letters of John and experience a growing godliness in the process.

About John Calvin
John Calvin (1509–1564) was perhaps the Reformation’s most influential Bible teacher. He had a powerful influence on many Christian leaders, including John Knox, John Bunyan, Charles Spurgeon, William Carey, George Whitefield, and Jonathan Edwards. Known best for his Institutes of the Christian Religion, Calvin also wrote landmark expositions on most of the books of the Bible. In addition to Calvin’s commentary on Genesis in this collection, Logos also offers Calvin’s 500 Collection (108 volumes) and the Institutes of the Christian Religion.
