Summary

These four writings, along with 1, 2, and 3 John (attached to the commentary on John's Gospel), belong to the category of "catholic letters" because they are addressed not to any specific church but to Christian communities in general. The authors are second- or third-generation leaders who identify themselves as first-generation Christians to give their words more authority.
