Review: Most interpreters of 1, 2, 3 John believe that the author's opponents advocated gnostic or progressive doctrines that denied the humanity of Jesus Christ. The author argues that the opponents are former Jewish-Christians who have left the community to return to the synagogue after renouncing their belief that Jesus is the Jewish Messiah. Options for identifying the opponents of 1 John -- The methodology of mirror-reading -- 1 John 2:18-27 : Jesus is the messiah -- 1 John 4:1-6 : Jesus is the messiah in the flesh -- 1 John 5:6-12 : three witnesses to Jesus the messiah -- 2 John 4-11 : the teaching about the messiah.
