Introduction to the Catholic Epistles

Written as a companion volume to Paton J. Gloag’s earlier Introduction to the Pauline Epistles, this insightful work could be considered an introduction to this particular portion of the New Testament rather than a commentary. The author delves into topics such as the authenticity of the letters, their intent, their intended audience, the time period in which they were written, and distinguishing characteristics. The author writes in light of theological setting in which he lived, referencing the earlier Tübingen school, specifically F. C. Baur. Gloag provides insight into James, 1 & 2 Peter, 1–3 John, and Jude. Read his account of these letters and the literary setting in which they were written. Better understand the origin and authorship of these New Testament epistles with this carefully researched and respected scholarship.
