Walking In the Light Douglas Knighton

"Walking in the Light" provides the serious Bible student with a detailed exegesis of the message of 1 John and with a deliberate examination of how interpretational decisions are made. While Professor of Hermeneutics at Fuller Seminary, Dr. Fuller wrestled with this text for many years in the context of teaching future pastors and theologians how to understand the original author's intended meaning. In this step-by-step guide, he unpacks John's message while he demonstrates not only the importance of clearly presenting one's understanding of the author's intended meaning, but also the necessity of producing persuasive arguments from the text to support one's conclusions. In this way "Walking in the Light" enables a deeper comprehension of the joy of fellowship John sought when he wrote his letter, while it enhances the reader's ability to engage with John's writing.
