At his best, the apostle Peter could be eager, energetic, daring, bold,
and courageous. But, like most of us, Peter had rough edges. At times
before Christ's ascension, Peter could be fickle, weak, impulsive,
and cowardly. He had an opinion on every subject, and he expressed it on
many occasions. We are drawn to Peter because he was so typically human,
and we can identify with his successes and failures.It is this Peter, so
like us, whose name is attached to two New Testament letters that have
as much to say to us today as they did to their first recipients nearly
two millennia ago. According to Bible teacher and professor Lou
Barbieri, no study of First and Second Peter wold be complete without
understanding the background of this apostle, his service under Christ,
and his calling. So, that's where the book begins.Consistent with
all volumes of the Everyman's Bible Commentary series, Dr. Barbieri
has prepared an easy to understand and practical study. This new edition
is packed with wise insights about our great salvation and our conduct
as Christians before God, the world, and fellow believers. It also
includes strong reminders from Peter's second letter to oppose false
teachers and false doctrines that creep in and seek to destroy the
church.If you're looking for an indepth, approachable commentary on
First and Second Peter, this book is for you.
