Callahan suggests that scholars have wrongly placedthe sequence and therefore the importance of the workscollectively known as the Johannine tradition - the Gospel ofJohn and the Johannine Epistles. His proposal includesliterary, theological, and historical analysis as he argues forthe reevaluation of a significant part of the biblical canon.
Allen Dwight Callahan is Visiting Professor of Religion and Society at Harvard Divinity School and Professor of New Testament at Seminario Theologico Batista do Nordeste (Brazil), and the author of Embassy of Onesimus: The Letter of Paul to Philemon (1997).

"The Johannine Epistles ... are the literary beginnings of a process that ultimately bears fruit in a narrative representation of Jesus. In the Epistles of John and the Gospel of John, we learn that the greatest love is to live for one's friends. Love is how one lives, not how one dies, and one may only die in love as one lives in love. No one has greater love than to put one's life at the disposal of those one loves."
