Synopsis

Peters first letter to the early churches is a significant expression of New Testament theology and pastoral care. This new volume in the New International Commentary explicates the letter to show how the early church applied Jesus sayings and the Old Testament writings to contemporary concerns. Peter Davidss own translation is the starting point for his clearly written, well-balanced discussions on each verse. He draws frequent parallels to ancient literature, interacts with other works on 1 Peter, and presents one of the most up-to-date bibliographies on the book.

From the Back Cover

The First Epistle of Peter constitutes an important work of New Testament theology and pastoral care, serves as an example of how the early church applied Jesus' sayings and the old Testament writings to contemporary concerns, and presents some extremely useful perspectives on living the Christian life today. This commentary by Peter Davids does an excellent job of mining the rich wealth of instruction to be found in this very significant section of Scripture.
