1 Peter

When Holiness Meets Hostility

Peter opens by calling his readers elect exiles: strangers whose home is somewhere they are not. Then comes a letter to people under fire: chosen and redeemed, made holy, built into a house of living stones, and told to bless the ones who curse them. Twenty-three lessons on standing firm when the pressure comes, on staying gentle with people who are unkind to you, and on the three warnings Peter gives before he signs off.
