The Epistles of St. Peter and St. Jude: Preached and Explained

  • Author: Martin Luther
  • Editor: E.H. Gillett
  • Publisher: Anson D.F. Randolph & Company
  • Publication Date: 1859
  • Pages: 336

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

This first English edition of Martin Luther’s lectures on the epistles of 1 and 2 Peter and Jude provides an exegetical examination of the Greek text with theological application. The translator, E.H. Gillett, notes that his translation of Luther is literal but clear and preserves “the clearness of [Luther’s] exposition” and the “stinging force of its rebukes.” Drawing on the Petrine epistles and Jude, the commentary elucidates the distinction between faith and works, while also allowing, states Gillett, “the subjects presented in the text afford full opportunity for discussing the great questions that concern the relative duties of civil and social life.”

Martin Luther, (1483–1546) the father of the Reformation, is one of the most significant figures in Western history. His innovative use of the printing press, his translation of the Christian Bible into German, and his doctrinal teachings transformed European society. Born in 1483 to middle-class parents in Saxony, he became an Augustinian monk, a priest, a professor of biblical literature, and a reformer. His marriage to Katherine von Bora (Katie Luther) is one of Western society’s greatest love stories. He died in 1546 after having successfully produced a profound shift in faith, politics, and society. Though still a subject of controversy, Luther’s effect on Christianity has persisted, and his writings and teachings inspire Protestant believers all over the world to this day.

An Analytical Exposition of Both the Epistles of the Apostle Peter

  • Author: William Ames
  • Publisher: John Rothwell
  • Publication Date: 1641
  • Pages: 254

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

With a strong eye to practical application and the personal holiness of his readers, early Reformed scholar William Ames’ An Analytical Exposition of Both the Epistles of the Apostle Peter unpacks the text of 1 and 2 Peter verse by verse. Ames’ explanations are succinct and accessible, and focus on points of theological doctrine—especially those verses pertinent to debates about Catholicism—as well as points of historical interest.

William Ames (1576–1633) was an English Protestant divine, philosopher, and theologian. He was educated at Christ’s College, Cambridge, and was profoundly influenced by his instructor, William Perkins. He was later suspended from Cambridge for condemning excessive Christmas celebrations. He moved to Holland, where he became one of the most popular proponents of Calvinist theology and debated multiple Arminian theologians, including Nicholas Grevinckhoven, and other Remonstrants. Ames later attended the Synod of Dort.

A modern critical commentary, Edward Gordon Selwyn’s The First Epistle of Peter provides a comprehensive academic-level commentary on 1 Peter. He provides a comprehensive examination of the Greek text of 1 Peter and rejects, in part, the widely held belief that its recipients were undergoing persecution in favor of the belief that the epistle addresses suffering as a general theme. Selwyn also examines issues of authorship, provenance, and the unique role geography plays in this epistle.

Edward Gordon Selwyn (1885–1959) was an Anglican priest and theologian. He was the editor of the journal Theology, and wrote several books, including The Teaching of Christ, The Approach to Christianity, and The White Horseman and Other Sermons.
