1-2 Peter

About this book

Peter wrote two letters to encourage churches to stand firm under persecution. The apostle Peter himself was familiar with persecution as he probably wrote the letters from Rome awaiting his death. From his own suffering Peter joins in fellowship with elect exiles of the dispersion by urging them to rejoice though now for a little while . . . you have been grieved by various trials. His inspired challenges to live a life worthy of the gospel hold great relevance for us today. Pastor and scholar R. C. Sproul has preached through Peters letters and has now compiled these sermons into one volume. This St. Andrews Expositional Commentary will enable readers to glean from Sprouls wisdom and perspective on 12 Peter. The St. Andrews Expositional Commentary series is the result of years of careful preparation and Bible-centered preaching. Delivered from a pastors heart for his congregation readers will find this volume readable applicable appropriately paced and thoroughly biblical. Here is an opportunity to sit at the feet of an eminent scholar and teacher encountering the Word of God. Volumes on John Acts and Romans have already appeared.
