This new book I have just read is authored by Robert McIver.
I found this book well written and very informative.
While this book is written as a companion book for the Adult
Bible Study Guide for April, May and June 2017, the book can be very helpful
for anyone who would like to study these books of the Bible.
The author states even though more has been written about
Peter than any of the other 12 disciples, very little attention has been given
to Peter’s two epistles compared to what has been given to the 4 Gospels and to
Paul’s epistles.
Here’s a summary of what Dr. McIver brings out in this
insightful study book:
The special relationship God initiated with the descendants
of Abraham meant that Christians are a separate and holy nation and live their
lives according to high moral values; that they live a life of love for others,
and they should be like a fire on a cold night drawing others into its warmth
and that Christians are tasked with the responsibility of sharing with others
the good news of Salvation through Jesus Christ.
Christians should be living as those who are ransomed and
sanctified. Dr. McIver urges that Christians live in mutual respect and
encourages that even though they live in difficult times and perilous circumstances
that they have a glorious hope.
These two letters contain much practical advice for
Christians living in a time of uncertainty- even in the twenty-first century
and I would encourage anyone who has not read them to at least read this book.
