Additional Info
“Combines scholarly approaches to these neglected books with clear exposition and timely application. Use of Anabaptist sources will appeal to a wide audience: preachers, students, and church folk. We applaud the volume heartily.” – Ralph P. Martin, Distinguished Scholar in Residence, Fuller Theological Seminary..
Erland Waltner, Elkhart, Indiana, a seminary professor and church leader, explains how 1 Peter applies Jesus’ teaching on loving the enemy to believers in Asia Minor. Peter empowers them to be communities of hope, not retaliating for abuse they suffer, but bearing witness to their Lord by word, lifestyle, and doing good.
J. Daryl Charles, Taylor University, Upland, Indiana, shows how 2 Peter and Jude are relevant since the church still faces ethical compromises and pastoral dilemmas. The apocalyptic imagery stresses that the concerns of Christian faithfulness and faith are crucial. The church needs such moral exhortation.
“Solid biblical exposition in a reader-friendly format. Offers careful and detailed analysis of these books in clear, accessible language. Quotes Anabaptists working out understandings of faith under intense suffering. Valuable for pastors, Sunday school teachers, and serious students.” – Dorothy Jean Weaver, Professor Of New Testament, Eastern Mennonite Seminary
“This volume redeems 1-2 Peter and Jude for the church today. Waltner shows that 1 Peter is a letter of encouragement to those being persecuted for their faith because they are living by a Christian ethic in their stations in life. Charles sees 2 Peter and Jude as emphasizing right living, orthopraxis.” – David Schroeder, Professor Emeritus, Canadian Mennonite Bible College
