Peter wrote this letter at the outbreak of Nero's persecution,
urging his readers to have hope and courage in the midst of terrible
affliction. His words of encouragement still resonate today. Even when
believers face suffering and hostility, they can rest in their
salvation, live out their testimony, and look forward to Jesus'
return. Join John MacArthur as he explains each verse in a way that is
both doctrinally precise and intensely practical. Taking into account
the cultural, theological, and Old Testament contexts of each passage,
MacArthur tackles interpretive challenges and fairly evaluates differing
views, giving the reader confidence in his conclusions. The MacArthur
New Testament Commentary series comes from the experience, wisdom, and
insight of one of the most trusted ministry leaders and Bible scholars
of our day. Each volume was written to be as comprehensive and accurate
as possible, dealing thoroughly with every key phrase and word in the
Scripture without being unnecessarily technical. This commentary will
help to give a better, fuller, richer understanding of God's Word,
while challenging the reader to a vibrant personal spiritual walk. A
great resource for pastors, teachers, leaders, students, or anyone
desiring to dig deeper into Scripture
