The Johannine Corpus in the Early Church

The books traditionally associated with John the Apostle constitute a major portion of the Christian New Testament. The influence of these books, particularly the Gospel according to John and the book of Revelation, has been immense both in Christianity and in Western culture. This study provides a fresh examination of how these books were accepted--or not accepted--in the early Church, and in so doing demonstrates why long-held theories about them must be discarded and replaced.

Preferring light to heat, Waters has done an admirable job of allowing his interlocutors to speak for themselves. He offers clear-headed, exegetically grounded responses.

Michael Horton, J. Gresham Machen Professor of Theology and Apologetics

Reformed pastors and interested lay people need the sober biblical analysis provided by this book, and Guy Waters is uniquely qualified to write it.

Richard D. Phillips, Senior Minister

Thoroughly researched and clearly written. Waters deals fairly and charitably with the chief advocates and ideas of the 'Federal Vision.' He shows from their own writings how they have departed from the teaching of Scripture summarized in the Reformed confessions.

Joel Beeke, Minister

Seldom does one encounter a book that both challenges so trenchantly perspectives advocated by so many and makes the case so persuasively.
