Description
Book Synopsis1 Peter addresses Christians who have known suffering and persecution to a degree that we will never know. In 2 Peter, Peter was very concerned that those who deny Christ's return should be withstood and that the church could be confident that Christ has not abandoned them. The theme of Jude is similar and also points Christians towards the evidence of believers who heard Jesus speak, to enable them 'to fight on for the faith which once and for all God has given to his people'.

"Paul Gardner's commentary on 1-2 Peter and Jude is a terrific resource for those teaching or preaching on these important books of the Bible. Gardner handles scholarly issues with skill and clarity, and his exposition is chock full of useful insights. Easy to read, doctrinally faithful, and pastorally wise, this book is exactly the kind of commentary that is so needed today."
-- Richard D. Phillips (Senior Minister, Second Presbyterian Church, Greenville, South Carolina)
"I found this commentary well-written, clear, and insightful"

... a welcome addition to a commentary series that is proving very helpful to believers in pulpit and pew alike who want to get to grips with God's Word.
