Survey The River
Build the lens first: who wrote the book, when it was written, who heard it first, and why it exists.
Question 1
Who wrote it, to whom, and what problem are they fixing?
Question 2
What is the argument's logic — what claim, what reason, what therefore?
Question 3
What does this letter call this church (and me) to do?
The Second Epistle of John is a book of the New Testament attributed to John the Evangelist, traditionally thought to be the author of the other two epistles of John, and the Gospel of John (though this is disputed). Most modern scholars believe this is not John the Apostle, but in general there is no consensus as to the identity of this person or group. (See Authorship of the Johannine works.)
