INTRODUCTION TO THE EPISTLES OF JAMES, PETER, AND JUDE.
Tur name “catholic” is applied to the epistle of James, the two epistles of Peter, the three of John, and the epistle of Jude. The term is variously explained, some regarding it as equivalent to canonical, others as opposed to heretical, and as applied to writings which agree with the doctrines of the uni- versal church. Others, again, suppose that this group of epistles was so designated, in order to distinguish it from the two other groups formed by the Gospels and Acts, and the Pauline epis- tles, as a general collection of the writings of other apostles.
The better explanation is that they are called “catholic,” or general, because addressed to no particular church or individual, but to a number of scattered churches or people (see 1 Pet. i. 1, and James i. 1). In this sense the term does not strictly apply to the second and third epistles of John, which are addressed to individuals, and includes them only when regarded in the light of appendices to the first epistle. We speak in this Intro- duction of the epistles of James, Peter, and Jude only, reserving remarks on the epistles of John for the general introduction to the Johannine writings, in the second volume.
