1 & 2 Peter and Jude (Belief: A Theological Commentary on the Bible)

Theologian and church historian Catherine Gunsalus GonzÂ¡lez studies three often overlooked books in the New Testament, 1 and 2 Peter and the Letter of Jude. These writings from the late first century or early second century helped guide the young church as it faced a variety of issues, both internal to the churchâ‚¬s life, and external in the social and political culture in which it was growing. The letters help us focus on the character of the church and the importance of congregations in the churchâ‚¬s ongoing life. They raise basic issues of authority, on how the church knows the directions to follow, how Christians should live, and how diverse views should be considered. GonzÂ¡lez uses a variety of resources to illuminate these letters. She very helpfully centers on their theological importance for contemporary churches and for Christian living.
