Product Description
Neither Peter nor Jude minced words about the realities that would confront every Christian and that were confronting the church at large—suffering and persecution, contradictory views of the gospel, constant challenges to the faith at the hands of false teachers. Yet even in the face of these harsh realities, both biblical writers unswervingly declared that there is no cause for despair as long as one’s foundation and identity are in Christ.
With the truths of 1-2 Peter and Jude echoing across the ages, commentator David Helm beckons us to listen in his stirring exposition. Yet it is not enough to listen, he says. Peter’s and Jude’s words must compel us to do just what the early Christians did: hold fast to their identity in Christ, ground themselves in the truth, live lives worthy of their calling, and vigorously contend for the faith.
As Helm explores these three epistles in depth, he delivers clarifying messages for all God’s people:
-
Messages that will assist you in understanding, applying, and dynamically communicating the biblical text.
-
Messages that can quicken every believer’s mind for action.
-
Messages that should strengthen us all as we contend for the faith in these challenging times.
“It is vigorous in its defense of spiritual truth, clear in its explanation of biblical words and their contextual meaning, vivid in its use of language and illustrations, well-structured in its exposition of particular Bible passages, and fresh in its practical application of biblical truth to daily Christian life.” - Philip Graham Ryken, Senior Minister, Tenth Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia
