Summary

Designed for lay people, the Everyman's Bible Commentary Series deals seriously with biblical texts without being overly technical.

First Peter is a practical book about the Christian's behavior before God, the world, and fellow believers. Second Peter discusses the characteristics of the believer and warns against false teachers and doctrines that creep into the church.
