About The First Epistle of John Expounded in a Series of Lectures
Candlish organizes this exposition around three central words: light, righteousness and love, corresponding to the maxims, "God is light;" "God is righteous;" and "God is love."

This is a verse by verse commentary, and be sure to check the Book Comments for introductory material.

theWord Version
This is the complete version. The version circulating elsewhere is missing entire sections, footnotes, and the Greek words! This version is also completely tooltipped, even for implicit references.

This text is provided in two module formats: as a Commentary module or Book module.

About Robert S. Candlish
Born in Edinburgh, Candlish received an M.A. from Glasgow University and attended Divinity Hall (1823–1826). Licensed in 1828, he became assistant minister at St. Andrew’s Church, Glasgow, and later at Bonhill, Dunbartonshire. In 1834 he became minister of the prestigious St. George’s Church, Edinburgh. In 1839 he joined the evangelicals in the Church of Scotland, led by Thomas Chalmers, whom he supported on the patronage issue. Eventually Candlish took part in the formation of the Free Church of Scotland (1843).

A man of great ability, Candlish maintained a position of leadership despite a rather abrupt manner. When Chalmers died in 1847 Candlish could have succeeded him as professor of divinity at New College, but he preferred to stay in St. George’s Church. In 1861 he gave the Cunningham Lectures, in which he attacked F. D. Maurice’s view of the fatherhood of God, thereby stirring up a controversy. The following year he became principal of New College. Candlish helped to organize the Free Church school system (later absorbed by the national system), was one of the founders of the Evangelical Alliance (1845), and wrote prolifically in the field of theology and its application. Among his better–known works are The Atonement: Its Reality, Completeness and Extent (1861); The Fatherhood of God (1865); and The First Epistle of John Expounded in a Series of Lectures (1866).
