First and Second Peter, James, and Jude

Focusing on the often-overlooked epistles of First and Second Peter, James, and Jude, this volume by Pheme Perkins highlights their relevance to contemporary readers. These writings address specific challenges faced by early Christian communities, providing guidance on interpersonal conduct, living amidst non-believers, and pastoral care. The letters also explore theological themes, including the nature of God, the interplay between faith and works, and the experience of suffering. This work serves as a valuable resource for teachers and preachers seeking to understand the early Christian context.
