Top Highlights

“I begin by contending that our lack of suffering is, in part, due to a lack of nerve on the part of the church to challenge our contemporary world with the message of the cross and to live according to the teachings of Jesus with uncompromising rigor.” (Page 74)

“To become a Christian is to be raised to the ultimate height in status because we suddenly become children of the God of the universe, and we have direct access to him because we are his children.” (Page 115)

“But the main point is not complex. Just as Jesus suffered as a righteous man and was vindicated, so too if the churches of Peter live righteously (as he has exhorted them to do), they will be vindicated and sit with Jesus in the presence of God.” (Page 215)

“The primary mission of the church is to grow as a spiritual community and to declare the virtues of God.” (Page 118)

“In order to appreciate Peter’s perspective on the church of Christ, it is important to grasp what constituted that church: a group of sinful people who had come to Christ for salvation and who were committed to walking in obedience. And that is no different from our churches today.” (Page 111)

This is the pulpit commentary for the twenty-first century.

—George K. Brushaber, president, Bethel College and Seminary

The NIV Application Commentary meets the urgent need for an exhaustive and authoritative commentary based on the New International Version. This series will soon be found in libraries and studies throughout the evangelical community.

—James Kennedy, senior minister, Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church

It is encouraging to find a commentary that is not only biblically trustworthy but also contemporary in its application. The NIV Application Commentary will prove to be a helpful tool in the pastor’s sermon preparation. I use it and recommend it.

    Very helpful and insightful. Does an excellent job of making clear the historical/theological setting for 1 Peter, and connects it well to the present day. The only downside is that his handling of contemporary application is based on an outdated perspective. Which makes sense. The book was published in the late 1990s, and a lot has changed since then. But still very helpful, and sometimes helpful to see how things have changed around cultures perspective and treatment of Christianity over the last 30 years.

    The link to application was often petered out to be a bit thin or the principles being so general that I did not find them useful. The details of the text was often good but other commentaries give that and this is not the specialisation of this commentary.
