与其他「活道」系列的课程一样,这册课程也是从结合经文的认知和反省入手,让学员通过深入的阅读和回答课文所提供的问题,来清楚地理解经文内容及其写作处境,并藉反思开放心灵,让神的话语转化思想和态度,在所处的环境中实践经文的教导,见证神对人的恩典和大爱。
新约圣经中,编列在保罗的教牧书信之后的八封书信——希伯来书、雅各书、彼得前书、彼得后书、约翰壹书、约翰二书、约翰三书和犹大书,被统称为「大公书信」或「普通书信」。除希伯来书外,这些书信都以作者的名字命名。这些书信并没有明确地指出收信人是某个地方的教会或某个人,它们的对象应是各地教会中的一般信徒。
由于希伯来书在这八封书信中篇幅最长,「活道」系列把它独立成册,而约翰壹书、二书和三书,则编入同一作者的《约翰福音˙ 约翰书信》。本册则包括馀下的四封书信——雅各书、彼得前书、彼得后书和犹大书。
这四封书信都是写给初期教会散居于不同地区的信徒,雅各书和犹大书主要以犹太人信徒为对象,而彼得前书和后书的对象,则同时包括犹太人和外族的信徒。当时教会裡裡外外出现了各种难题,有来自社会文化的排挤、迫害及经济的抵制,也有假教师将异端引进教会,彼得后书和犹大书明显是针对后者,教导信徒处理这方面的问题。
