Logos Quiz 2014 - II and III letters of St John Questions and answers with reference texts

II and III epistles of St John belongs to the category of Catholic Epistles or General epistles despite their addresses respectively to the "elect lady", speculated by many to be the church itself, and to "Gaius", about whom there has been much speculation but little in the way of conclusive proof as to his identity.

General epistles (also called Catholic 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 St Paul's epistles.
