These are not words of disinterested philosophy nor of cold catechetical teaching. They are words of fire, and they come from one who was himself on fire with the love of God and His people. These early epistles have burned their way down through the centuries, and are given to us now as God s gift through His apostle to burn in our hearts as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Orthodox Bible Study Companion Series\u003c\/strong\u003e This commentary series was written for the average layperson. Working from a literal translation of the original Greek, the commentary examines the text section by section, explaining its meaning in everyday language.
