The Private Letters of St. Paul and St. John

The Private Letters of St. Paul and St. John examines the epistles modern readers know as Philemon, 1 John, and 2 John. Samuel Cox’s analysis zooms in on the personal traits of the authors—here understood as Paul and John—as they are revealed by the letters. He highlights how the letters provide significant insight into the authors’ character and integrity, and how focusing on these traits also aids interpreters in understanding the theological significance of each epistle.
