JOHN WAS THE LAST SURVIVING APOSTLEand one of the few still living who had seen Jesus in the flesh. It would be easy for young believers-removed from Christ's life, death, and resurrection by a generation and surrounded by a hostile government and unbelieving neighbors-to have doubts and second thoughts about their faith. This book was written in the late 80s after the terrible persecutions of Nero (A.D. 54-68) and the total destruction of Jerusalem (A.D. 70). The church had flourished under persecution, but believers needed reassurance of the truth of Christianity. John, a venerable eyewitness to all that Jesus had done and faithful follower of his Lord, would give that assurance through his personal account of the gospel story.
