These seven letters have only 21 chapters-James has five chapters, 1 Peter has five chapters, 2 Peter has three chapters, 1 John has five chapters, and the books of 2 John, 3 John, and Jude are so brief that they are not divided into chapters. They are usually described as one-chapter books. By volume, the General Letters make up approximately 7% of the New Testament. The designation as General Letters is an apt description in the sense that the letters are not addressed to specific churches or individuals. The exceptions are 2 John and 3 John, both of which appear to be addressed to specific indi-viduals. The book of 1 John does not mention the recipients and does not have the typical characteristics of a first-century letter. Two prominent themes in the General Letters are suffer-ing and heresies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"James Kay Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45540743708823,"sku":"9781943245222","price":936.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781943245222.webp?v=1767119557","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-general-letters-9781943245222","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
