Dr. Bahnsen preaches verse-by-verse through the Apostle Peter’s first epistle, written by an eyewitness of Christ to his flock on the verge of the first intense Roman persecution. He pays close attention to the epistle’s literary and historical contexts, unpacking allusions to both the sayings of Jesus and the Old Testament. With pastoral sensitivity, he applies Peter’s letter to contemporary Christian struggles, urging faithfulness amidst trials.
