Overview

In this addition to the award-winning BECNT series, leading evangelical biblical scholar Karen Jobes offers a substantive commentary on 1 Peter. The first edition, widely regarded as one of the leading commentaries on 1 Peter, has sold over 22,000 copies. The second edition takes recent scholarship into account and has been updated and revised throughout.

Jobes's commentary takes a historical-grammatical approach to exegeting 1 Peter. She considers the possibility that the original readers of the letter were actual exiles who had known Peter in some other location, probably Rome. Jobes analyzes each discourse unit of the Greek text with a view toward not only what the letter meant in its original setting but how it speaks to readers today.

As with all BECNT volumes, this commentary features an acclaimed, user-friendly design and admirably achieves the dual aims of the series--academic sophistication with pastoral sensitivity and accessibility--making it a useful tool for pastors, church leaders, students, and teachers.

  • Takes a historical-grammatical approach to exegeting 1 Peter
  • Helps as a tool for pastors, church leaders, students, and teachers
  • Analyzes each discourse unit of the Greek text with a view toward not only what the letter meant in its original setting but how it speaks to readers today

Karen Jobes is Gerald F. Hawthorne Professor of New Testament Greek and Exegesis at Wheaton College. She has written the NIV Application Commentary on Esther as well as a detailed study of an ancient Greek version of Esther and is the coauthor of Invitation to the Septuagint.

    Difference between first and second edition is 100 pages which cost $10 more. Can somebody explain to me what change Karen's mind?
  2. Marco Ceccarelli
    The first edition is dated 2005 and contains 482 pages. The changes in this second edition are so big and remarkable as to justify purchasing it?
