In this new edition in the award-winning BECNT series, leading
evangelical biblical scholar Karen Jobes offers a substantive
commentary on 1 Peter. The first edition, widely regarded as one of
the leading commentaries on 1 Peter, has sold over 22,000 copies.
The second edition takes recent scholarship into account and has
been updated and revised throughout. Jobes takes a
historical-grammatical approach to exegeting 1 Peter and considers
the possibility that the original readers of the letter were actual
exiles who had known Peter in some other location, probably Rome.
She analyzes each discourse unit of the Greek text with a view
toward not only what the letter meant in its original setting but
how it speaks to readers today. As with all BECNT volumes, this
commentary features an acclaimed, user-friendly design and
admirably achieves the dual aims of the series--academic
sophistication with pastoral sensitivity and accessibility--making
it a useful tool for pastors, church leaders, students, and
teachers.

The NIV Application Commentary helps you communicate and apply
biblical text effectively in today's context. This commentary shows
how Esther is perfect guidance for us when we find ourselves in a
situation where right and wrong are not so clearly defined and
every choice we have seems to be a troubling mixture of good and
bad. Esther is perfect inspiration for us when we find ourselves in
situations we never sought, never planned for, and don't think we
have the gifts to succeed at. To bring the ancient messages of the
Bible into today's context, each passage is treated in three
sections: Original Meaning. Concise exegesis to help readers
understand the original meaning of the biblical text in its
historical, literary, and cultural context. Bridging Contexts. A
bridge between the world of the Bible and the world of today, built
by discerning what is timeless in the timely pages of the Bible.
Contemporary Significance. This section identifies comparable
situations to those faced in the Bible and explores relevant
application of the biblical messages. The author alerts the readers
of problems they may encounter when seeking to apply the passage
and helps them think through the issues involved. This unique,
award-winning commentary is the ideal resource for today's
preachers, teachers, and serious students of the Bible, giving them
the tools, ideas, and insights they need to communicate God's Word
with the same powerful impact it had when it was first written.
Respected New Testament scholar Karen Jobes explores the cultural
and theological background of Hebrews and the general epistles
(James through Jude) in this rich commentary. Writing from an
evangelical perspective, Jobes addresses issues of historical
relevance as well as how these ancient books connect with Christian
faith and practice today. Letters to the Church includes:
-Historical background for each book focusing on authorship, genre,
date, and content -An exploration of the major themes in each book
and detailed commentary on key passages -Boxes with chapter goals,
outlines, challenges, and significant verses -Sidebars addressing
difficult passages or ideas -Maps, photographs, charts, and
definitions -Questions for discussion, reflection, and testing -A
comparison of the teachings about Christ in each of the letters
Pastors, professors, students, and laypeople interested in deeper
biblical study will find this an invaluable resource that offers
well-researched commentary in an accessible, spiritually meaningful
form.

Designed for the pastor and Bible teacher, the Zondervan Exegetical
Commentary on the New Testament brings together commentary features
rarely gathered in one volume. Written by notable evangelical
scholars, each volume treats the literary context and structure of
the passage in the original Greek, and each author provides an
original translation based on the literary structure. The series
consistently provides the main point, an exegetical outline,
verse-by-verse commentary, and theology in application in each
section of every commentary. Critical scholarship informs each step
but does not dominate the commentary, allowing readers to
concentrate on the biblical author s message as it unfolds. While
primarily designed for those with a basic knowledge of biblical
Greek, all who strive to understand and teach the New Testament
will find these books beneficial. The Zondervan Exegetical
Commentary on the New Testament series covers the entire New
Testament in twenty volumes; Clinton E. Arnold serves as general
editor. 1-3 John In her commentary on John s letters, Karen H.
Jobes writes to bridge the distance between academic biblical
studies and pastors, students, and laypeople who are looking for an
in-depth treatment of the issues raised by these New Testament
books. She approaches the three letters of John as part of the
corpus that includes John s gospel, while rejecting an elaborate
redactional history of that gospel that implicates the letters.
Jobes treats three major themes of the letters under the larger
rubric of who has the authority to interpret the true significance
of Jesus, an issue that is pressing in our religiously pluralistic
society today with its many voices claiming truth about God."
