Notes: Having just finished the first two of John's letters, I thought I'd read this last one.
Mini review: This letter I find to be one of most unusual of the New Testament. For one thing, it really doesn't talk about any Christian doctrine, but is a personal letter to a fellow named Gaius, praising him for his Christian charity. Also, this book warns against someone named Diotrephes, that he is not doing right by the church. To me, this is an interesting change of pace, and honestly, I wish the Bible had more personal letters such as this so we could better study the writers.
