Overview

You have before you a detailed outline and a brief commentary that can lead you to a rich and rewarding study of one of the Bible’s inspired books, First Peter. Peter, in his epistles, speaks of “precious blood,” “precious faith,” “precious cornerstone,” “precious promises, “and “precious trial of faith.” A careful and prayerful study of Peter’s two “precious” epistles will help us to obey Peter’s last imperative, “but grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.”
