For Everyone Bible Study Guide: Letters of John

In his letters, John expresses delight at believers who are "walking in the truth": behaving with that integrity which reflects the gospel. This involves not just correct doctrine and proper outward behavior, but also love for God and fellow believers. It's this love, John writes, that shows that the truth of the gospel has really been grasped, not as an abstract idea but as what it is, the very life of God himself at work in his people. These nine studies from Tom Wright help us become believers who are "walking in the truth" in our own day--people in whom the very life of God is at work for all to see.

Formerly Bishop of Durham, Tom Wright is now Research Professor of New Testament and Early Christianity at the University of St Andrews and is a regular broadcaster on radio and television. He is the author of over forty books, including the other For Everyone guides to the New Testament, the best-selling Simply Christians and Surprised by Hope, and the magisterial series entitled Christian Origins and the Question of God.
