The Message of the General Epistles in the History of Redemption: Wisdom from James, Peter, John, and Jude
No Customer Reviews
This volume considers the theological richness (indicative) and practical relevance (imperative) of the New Testament General Epistles--James, 1-2 Peter, 1-3 John, and Jude--within a redemptive-historical framework. Although not the most familiar portion of the New Testament, these letters have much to say about the call to discipleship in the twenty-first century. Part One ("Scallywags") focuses on 1 Peter. Here we see that Christ has accomplished salvation and that his life provides the pattern for faithful living in the face of worldly opposition. In Part Two ("Scoffers") the truth of 2 Peter and Jude is set in contrast to the destructive doctrines of scoffing false teachers. Part Three ("Schisms") reflects on the challenges of the Johannine letters that address who belongs to God's family. Finally, Part Four ("Wisdom") looks at the practical teaching of James in light of the teaching of Jesus.
