The Expositor's Bible: The Epistles of St. Peter

The volume provides a careful, largely verse-by-verse exposition of the two New Testament letters attributed to Peter, blending historical context, textual criticism, and theological interpretation. It addresses questions of authorship and intended readership, outlines central themes such as suffering, holiness, election, pastoral duty, and the significance of Christ's death and resurrection, and shows how doctrinal convictions translate into moral and communal practice. The commentary combines linguistic and philological observations with attention to variant readings and scriptural parallels, guiding readers from foundational teaching through practical ethical exhortation for Christian communities.
