1 & 2 Peter: The Hope You Have - Paperback

The epistles of 1 and 2 Peter are written to a scattered people of God who have begun to lose their sense of God's mission in the world. These letters are an attempt to help these churches reorient and realign themselves with God. The challenges facing the churches addressed in the Petrine epistles are not unlike some of the challenges the church faces today, so studying Peter's words can help guide us into a more faithful expression of our mission as followers of Christ. Explore in these letters themes of exile, cultural assimilation, suffering, our identity as God's people, and the return of Christ. A faithful reading of God's Word leads to a faithful response from God's people. The Shaped by Scripture series teaches a simple, engaging method of studying the Bible that will lead to honest interpretation and a changed relationship with God.
