What Was From the Beginning, with Elizabeth Mburu: 1 John 1:1-4

John's longer letter begins with a series of clauses headed by neuter relative pronouns without clear antecedents. In particular, the neuter gender draws our attention. To what do they refer and how does this relate to John's larger concerns?

She is on the board of the Africa Bible Commentary and is the editorial coordinator and New Testament editor for its revision.
