From the Paper:

"The Gospel of "John" is composed of the three letters written by the Apostle John that narrate the miracles of Jesus in dealing with the theme of faith. John, working in the capacity of a pastor, realizes that his people need specific guidance in this area as they are influenced by their own ideas on what faith is and how it works. The main theme of John's letters is to establish how the miracles of Jesus are not just revelations of the deity of Christ, but lessons that go beyond just believing in miracles to honoring the glorification of God through Jesus Christ."
