One cannot read James with without experiencing a strong tug of conviction.
In 1 Peter, Dr.Baker explains how Peter presents the true, pure gospel of Jesus Christ as the ultimate encouragement in suffering. True faith and godly living are the greatest resources a believer can have to endure suffering with patience.
In 2 Peter, Dr.Baker reviews Peter’s warnings to safeguard the truth encouraging the reader to understand the knowledge of God and of Christ, and to realize that this knowledge provides believers with everything they need to know to live a righteous and holy life.
The letters of Peter and James reflect the heart of apostolic Christianity. They defend the faith, warn the faithful, and encourage the flock of God. In an era when the relevance of the Christian faith is often questioned, these powerful letters continue to speak loudly to those in the twenty-first century. These two giants of the apostolic church, Peter and James, have something to say to this generation that we dare not miss.
