The First Epistle of Peter: Hope for the 21st Century Man Living in Two Kingdoms (First Peter: Hope for the 21st Century Man)

Circa 63 AD scattered throughout Pontus Galatia Cappadocia Asia Minor and Bithynia were Christian converts experiencing undefined degrees of suffering and persecution. At some point the Apostle Peter who was most likely residing in Rome at the time had received news of what these Christians were enduring and was compelled to write to them advising them to remember the grace and peace that is found in Jesus Christ and why they had converted to Christianity in the first place.What Peter shared with the First Century Christians in what is now modern day Turkey would encapsulate everything he had learned since the moment Jesus commanded him to Follow Me and the thirty years that followed. Christ followers today 21st Century men are blessed to have the opportunity to mentally consume and heartfully digest the faith and grace teachings of Peter to this very day.Peter would remind suffering Christians the exiled elect of God that there is a Living Hope even in the midst of their suffering. Though Peter wrote it almost 2000 years ago his letter parallels events today which includes the life of the 21st Century Christian man.Martin Luther referred to Peters letter as the most outstanding book of the New Testament the true Doctrine of Faith.In this Biblical Commentary Marcus tackles a detailed study of the First Epistle of Peter breaking it down verse by verse and shares how without violating the integrity of Peters letter HOPE is available for the 21st Century Man who is living in two Kingdoms.
