A Personal Word from Dr. J. T. Parish

Before beginning this course, it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you download/pring the corresponding Study Guide to complete while viewing the videos. Registered/paid students no longer have to mail in your completed Study Guide, but simply take the Final Exam to qualify for transcript credit.

The General Epistles are books in the New Testament in the form of letters. They are termed "general" because for the most part their intended audience seems to be Christians in general rather than individual persons or congregations as is the case with the Pauline epistles.

Listed in order of their appearance in the New Testament, the General Epistles are:

Epistle of James
First Epistle of Peter
Second Epistle of Peter
First Epistle of John
Second Epistle of John
Third Epistle of John
Epistle of Jude

Additionally, some scholars include the Book of Hebrews as falling within this group.
