Here is my proposed translation of the epistles of John, which I began translating when I first taught Johannine literature. Criticism and correction welcome. Message directly. This is neither an official translation nor is it anything approved for use in any way whatsoever. This translation I offer simply as a service for the study of the Sacred Scriptures and I subject it to the scrutiny of others and to the wisdom of the Church. I have included in parentheses some connections with other texts in Scripture. Translation of the Gospel of John to come eventually.

The Gospel of John: Theological-Ecumenical Readings (Cascade, 2017)
The Gospel of John: Theological-Ecumenical Readings brings together leading Catholic, Orthodox, and Evangelical theologians to read and interpret John's Gospel from within their ecclesial tradition, while simultaneously engaging one another in critical dialogue. Combining both theological exegesis and ecumenical dialogue, each chapter is uniquely structured with a main essay by a Catholic, Orthodox, or Evangelical theologian on a section of John's Gospel, followed by two responses from theologians of the other two traditions. The chapter concludes with a final response from the main author. Readers are thus provided with not only a deep and engaging reading of the Gospel of John but also the unfolding of a rich theological-ecumenical dialogue centered on an authority for all Christians, namely, the Gospel of John.
The Reception History of the Epistles of John: Reconsidering the Dates of Their Composition
In the history of reception of the Epistles of John, no scholar has yet to propose any universally accepted tradition of authorship or date of composition. The writing of 2 John (and credibly, 1 John), I argue, was the product of the last decade of the second-century work of proto-orthodox Christian apologists who campaigned not only to offset the rising influences of their opponents but to expunge them from Christianity. The process extended over decades of intra-Christian tensions and christological debates. The anti-heretical movement in the second half of the second and early third centuries targets Marcion and Montanus whose ideas are directly countered by a number of theological statements in 2 John and 1 John. Yet, there is no trace of reception of 3 John in extant records until the first half of the fourth century when the Epistle is suddenly and mysteriously collated in א and B. Keywords: Reception History, authorship, date of composition, early Christianity. This article is forthcoming in the Catholic Biblical Quarterly.
