Read Introduction
Living Hope in a Hostile World
Ch. 1-5Peter addresses scattered, suffering believers with the living hope of the resurrection, calls them to holy living as a holy priesthood, and instructs them to suffer well — following Christ who suffered before them.
First Peter is the New Testament's primary pastoral letter for suffering Christians — providing both the theological ground for hope and the practical posture of suffering-that-witnesses.
