“John Paul Heil's original contribution constitutes a welcome addition to recent studies that explore the literary design of the Johannine letters from aural and audience-oriented perspectives. His chiasm-based analyses offer fresh solutions to some of the letters's long-standing interpretive challenges. Heil's proposed reading strategy suggests theologically rich ways in which ancient worship communities may have heard and understood these fascinating documents.”
