1, 2, 3 John: Bible Commentaries from Muslim Contexts - Paperback
About this item
by Elizabeth W. Mburu (Author), Judy Wanjiru Wang'ombe (Author), Caroline G. Seed (Author)
This unique study on 1, 2, 3 John addresses interpretation challenges that arise for people from Islamic contexts on the East African coast. Exploring questions regarding a relationship with God, the nature of incarnation, sin, sacrifice, forgiveness, the spirit world, and coming judgement, the research process included reader-centered sessions with women from the region, thus addressing the bigger questions of faith while speaking directly to the real-life issues they face. Filled with wisdom for those from the East African coast and beyond, each chapter includes stories from local people, biblical commentary, theological reflection, and practical insights. The authors' unique approach is rooted in current scholarship on the Midrashic exegesis of 1 John, wherein the narrative of Cain and Abel is the central motif. This homiletic framework, which allows deep engagement with Islamic contexts, is extended to 2 and 3 John.
Windows on the Text is a ground-breaking Bible commentary series written by followers of Jesus in Muslim contexts. It develops biblical insight in deliberate conversation with the Qur'an, the Hadith, and local Islamic cultures. Confident that the Bible in its entirety speaks directly into Muslim contexts, it opens new windows into the holy word of God to equip and empower believers to live out their faith in loving service and clear communication within their communities.
