1, 2, and 3 John (Group Bible Study)

Beginner Group Study | 12 lessons

We are excited to introduce our new format!
This Rafiki Bible Study has been beautifully redesigned as a spiral-bound edition with durable covers. Now available as individual copies, this new format is perfect for personal study or group use. Each study includes two introductory lessons (The Chief End of Bible Study: Thinking Right Thoughts about God and What is the Bible about?).

The Rafiki Bible Study on 1 John (10 lessons) discusses the truth and purpose of the incarnation, the holiness of God, our sin nature, the way righteousness arises from God's grace, the nature of Christian love, abiding in him, and the importance of discerning false teaching. The study on 2 John (1 lesson) focuses on the place of true doctrine in the life of the church. The study on 3 John (1 lesson) shows that how we live fundamentally depends on whether we know God. Each lesson includes notes on the text and questions for discussion written and edited by reformed theologians.

The commentary recommended to accompany this study is 1-3 John by Douglas Sean O'Donnell, sold separately.
