About this ebook
In 1 Peter, explains Wayne Grudem, readers are encouraged to grow in their trust in God and their obedience to him throughout their lives, but especially when they suffer. "Here is a brief and very clear summary both of the consolations and instructions needful for the encouragement and direction of a Christian in his journey to Heaven, elevating his thoughts and desires to that happiness, and strengthening him against all opposition in the way, both that of corruption within, and temptations and afflictions from without," says Archbishop Robert Leighton in the introduction. The Tyndale New Testament Commentaries have long been a trusted resource for Bible study. Written by some of the world's most distinguished evangelical scholars, these twenty volumes offer clear, reliable, and relevant explanations of every book in the New Testament. These Tyndale volumes are designed to help readers understand what the Bible actually says and what it means. The introduction to each volume gives a concise but thorough description of the authorship, date, and historical background of the biblical book under consideration. The commentary itself examines the text section by section, drawing out its main themes. It also comments on individual verses and deals with problems of interpretation. The aim throughout is to get at the true meaning of the Bible and to make its message plain to readers today. The original, unrevised text of this volume has been completely retypeset and printed in a larger, more attractive format with the new cover design for the series.

Reviews for 1 Peter
21 ratings4 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Grudem has written a concise commentary on the 1 Peter. I used this as one of my primary references recently while preaching through Peter's letter. I found this book to be a mixture of exegesis in combination with expositional insights. There were several times when Grudem's study was able to give me the right framework to understand and organize a passage as I developed my sermon. Grudem does not deal extensively with Petrine scholarship, say in the manner of Jobe's commentary, but he is familiar with it and does bring in key work by other scholars as needed. One weakness of this work was that there were several points in which Grudem made what appeared at first reading to be a correct interpretation of the text, but when I read the parallel commentary by Schreiner I consistently found Schreiner's understanding to be more correct. As a pastor preaching through 1 Peter I found this commentary to be a worthwhile complement to the commentaries by others that became my primary references.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Best commentary I found on I Peter yet.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It is more Theological and it gives information very clearly
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The IVP editors could not have expected the quality of work produced in this volume by Marshall. This is an excellent popular commentary on I Peter.
