The great discovery is that the Bible is a message system: it's not simply 66 books penned by 40 authors over thousands of years, the Bible is an integrated whole which bears evidence of supernatural engineering in every detail!
Author: John, the son of Zebedee
Date: A.D. 85-95, after the writing of the Gospel of John. Early Christian writers place John in Ephesus toward the end of his long life, and the earliest confirmed use of the book is also in the province of Asia.
The early church in the 1st century was under attack from both the inside and the outside. (Does anything change?) It should not surprise us that the Holy Spirit has anticipated every conceivable form of attack and diversion, and the three epistles of John are full of insight that is timely for each of us - at the personal level as well as the corporate.
