1 John: Audio Lectures

By: Karen H. Jobes

Narrated by: Karen H. Jobes

The Zondervan Biblical and Theological Lectures series provides a unique audio learning experience. Unlike a traditional audiobook’s direct narration of a book’s text, 1 John: Audio Lectures include high quality live-recordings of college-level lectures that cover the important points from each subject as well as relevant material from other sources.

In 1 John: Audio Lectures author and New Testament scholar Karen Jobes seeks to bridge the distance between academic biblical studies and pastors, students, and laypeople who are looking for an in-depth treatment of the issues raised by these New Testament books. She approaches the three letters of John as part of the corpus that includes John's gospel, while rejecting an elaborate redactional history of that gospel that implicates the letters. Jobes treats the major themes of the letters under the larger rubric of who has the authority to interpret the true significance of Jesus, an issue that is pressing in our religiously pluralistic society today with its many voices claiming truth about God.

These audio lectures examine the literary context and structure of each passage in 1 John and provides verse-by-verse commentary and theology in application.

Fantastic, Brilliant and True

On point, accurate and breathtaking. No fluff stays on task and gets the job done. I've been studying the Koine Greek for 22 years and have had a hand in many translations. I decided to look deeper into 1 John 5 and got this audiobook while traveling. Riveting from start to finish. I immediately purchased some of her books, not disappointed. A brilliant mind, filled with God's Holy Spirit. All men should hear what the Spirit says here.
