1 Peter: The MacArthur New Testament Commentary

Description

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.
The indispensable
MacArthur Commentary on the New Testament
emphasizes both an explanation and application of Scripture by an examination of the text that seeks to illuminate broad doctrinal themes in the service of God’s people. Each passage is related to other passages of Scripture dealing with similar themes, and when necessary draws in linguistic questions to further support adequate exposition of the text-though these are never technical.
Sharp, clear outlines are provided for each section of the biblical book and guide the commentary discussion throughout each volume in the series. Sections comprise periscopes (i.e., 2 Timothy 1.1-5) and key words/phrases are highlighted in bold.

This series helps provide a better, fuller, and richer understanding of God’s word while challenging all readers-no matter what their expertise-to grow in a vibrant, personal spiritual walk.
