LESSON EIGHT
The General Epistles
The term “general” is at best an imperfect way to characterize the last eight epistles of the New Testament. It has been selected because, unlike the majority of Paul’s epistles that are written to specific churches, most of the recipients of these eight epistles are either churches of some large area or are all Christians (the exceptions are Hebrews and 2 and 3 John). Also, with the exception of Hebrews, these epistles are named for their authors.
Lesson Objective: To see the gospel amplified and defined
