Letters to the Church (Karen Jobes)

In Letters to the Church, Karen Jobes delivers a survey of Hebrews and the General Epistles- 8 New Testament books in all:
- Hebrews
- James
- Jude
- 1 & 2 Peter
- 1, 2, & 3 John

For each, she looks at many background topics, to include:
- why the book is important today
- audience, occasion, date, authorship
- outline and theological overview (looking at genre & themes)
- canonicity
- challenges presented by the text

I read only the section about Jude (to prepare for an upcoming study); it was excellent.  Well-presented, scholarly yet accessible, informative, intriguing.  It's a handy reference.
