{"product_id":"1-peter-reformed-expository-commentary","title":"1 Peter - Reformed Expository Commentary","description":"\u003cp\u003eMany Christians around the world today face severe persecution, while others daily feel the weight of cultural pressure against them. The apostle Peter speaks to this as he reminds us that Christians are aliens and exiles in an often-hostile empire. Yet we are simultaneously the chosen of God, equipped by Jesus’ work for us and in us to live faithfully in our dual identity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this exposition of 1 Peter, Daniel Doriani explains how the work of Christ enables Christians to live with hope, joy, and faithfulness in a pagan world. He also explores Peter’s emphasis on the kind of life that pleases God—a life that includes respect for authorities, just or unjust; godly behavior as a wife, husband, or elder; and, by God’s grace, good deeds, courage, and a firm stand in the face of trials.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAs are all the books in the Reformed Expository Commentary series, this exposition of 1 Peter is accessible to both pastors and lay readers. Each volume in the series provides exposition that gives careful attention to the biblical text, is doctrinally Reformed, focuses on Christ through the lens of redemptive history, and applies the Bible to our contemporary setting.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTable of Contents:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003col\u003e \u003cli\u003eStrangers in a Strange Land (1 Peter 1:1-2)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA Sure and Living Hope (1 Peter 1:3-9)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Authority of Peter and His Epistle (1 Peter 1:10-12)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHope and Holiness (1 Peter 1:13-21)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGospel Purification (1 Peter 1:22-2:3)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eChristian Identity (1 Peter 2:4-10)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePilgrims and Citizens (1 Peter 2:11-17)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA Life Shaped by the Crucified Christ (1 Peter 2:18-25)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBeautiful Wives, Considerate Husbands (1 Peter 3:1-7)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Good Life, the Peaceable Kingdom (1 Peter 3:8-12)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Right Fear (1 Peter 3:13-18)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Work of the Living Christ (1 Peter 3:18-22)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBreaking with Sin (1 Peter 4:1-6)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGifts from God, Gifts for God (1 Peter 4:7-11)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGod’s Way to Endure Trials (1 Peter 4:12-19)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eJesus Shepherds His Church through Servant Leaders (1 Peter 5:1-4)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHumble Yourselves (1 Peter 5:5-6)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCounsel and Blessing (1 Peter 5:7-14)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDaniel M.

Unsurprisingly from the author of \u003cem\u003ePutting the Truth to Work\u003c\/em\u003e, which is the best treatment available on application, this exposition of 1 Peter is loaded with the best kind of applications: faithful to the text, reflective, never forced, often telling.” – D.A.
