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 Third Epistle of John is the third-to-last book of the New Testament and the Christian Bible as a whole, and attributed to John the Evangelist, traditionally thought to be the author of the Gospel of John and the other two epistles of John.
