Review title: A clearly developed understanding of the Epistles of John
Product review: Don't consider the Epistles of John to be tests for assurance of possessing eternal life. Consider them to be a manual for Christian living and a guide for the believer's fellowship with the Lord. This work by Zane Hodges is not only clear in its presentation, but logical and convincing in its argument and explanation. Lordship people won't like it because it takes away the inclination to be a judge of whether a person is saved. Hodges is especially clear in the explanation of John 2:28 -- 3:10 and how that passage isn't designed to be a litmus test for whether a person has eternal life, but a high, absolute standard of how Christians ought to live. A really great commentary that brings to the fore issues ignored or dismissed by other commentaries.
