Description
Scholarly insights with a pastoral heart for all the books of the New Testament. 'Scot McKnight is one of my absolute favorite New Testament scholars and his Everyday Bible Study series is akin to Einstein creating a user-friendly version of the Theory of Relativity!'—Lisa Harper, award-winning author and Bible teacher Scot McKnight explores the books of 1 Peter, 2 Peter, and Jude and shows how the most demanding challenge for early believers in Jesus Christ was how to live as a Christian in the Roman empire—how a household was to live, how to respond to suffering, how to live a holy life, and how to maintain faithfulness to the truths of the gospel. In the New Testament Everyday Bible Study Series, widely respected biblical scholar Scot McKnight combines interpretive insights with pastoral wisdom for all the books of the New Testament. Each volume provides: • Original Meaning. Brief, precise expositions of the biblical text and offers a clear focus for the central message of each passage. • Fresh Interpretation. Brings the passage alive with fresh images and what it means to follow King Jesus. • Practical Application. Biblical connections and questions for reflection and application for each passage. The NIV is used as the primary Bible text, but McKnight also includes insights from his own translation of the entire New Testament. Each Bible study features a short, compact, clear exposition that both summarizes the whole and gives the reader a clear focus for what is central to the passage.
