This is the tenth time that EN has reviewed a book in the Let’s Study series. These reviews have been generally favourable, commenting that the books are brief, clear and faithful to the Bible, but a bit lightweight.
Ian Hamilton’s book on 1 John is similar. It has short readable chapters, which explain the text well and provide a lot of cross-referencing to other NT books (although in places I found this frustrating as I wanted to hear what John has to say, not Paul!). The study guide at the end raises good questions, making the reader think more deeply about the passage.
