Overview

This commentary by Mr. Gingrich, Introduction to the General Epistles, is well-written and it will prove itself to be a valuable aid to church pastors, Sunday School teachers, Bible school students, and Christian layman in helping them to understand “The General Epistles” and their messages to mankind. Mr. Gingrich first gives us a general introduction to the whole of “The General Epistles” and then he gives us a detailed introduction to each of these Epistles, thus giving us a broad view and a narrow view of these epistles, both of which views help us to better understand these epistles.
