Story
James, the brother of the Lord and leader of the church in Jerusalem, writes this epistle, sometime before A.D. 70. Paul had been very clear that we are saved by grace through faith in the person and work of Jesus Christ. At the Council of Jerusalem in A.D. 50, Peter, Paul, James and the other Apostles concurred with Paul’s position, and it is James who, as leader of the church in Jerusalem, orders that a letter be written to all the churches explaining the Council’s decision. In his epistle, James does not contradict himself by arguing the contrary....

Story
As Paul writes his last will and testament in 2 Timothy, so Peter writes his in 2 Peter. It is A.D. 68, and Peter, like Paul, has been arrested during the persecutions under Nero, then tried, convicted, and sentenced to death. In his second epistle, Peter urges us to remember the foundational teachings of the Gospel and not to be led astray by false teachers and those who serve their own interests, rather than Christ’s. Join Logos Bible Study’s Dr. Bill Creasy as we bid farewell to Peter and listen to his last words of encouragement.

Story
Once thought to have been written by Paul, Hebrews is in fact written by one of Paul’s inner circle prior to A.D. 70, but no one knows exactly who. Addressed to Jewish Christians, our author examines several key issues from a Jewish perspective, drawing heavily upon the Torah for his support. In the marvelous chapters 7-10, our author sees Christ foreshadowed in the Tabernacle; the five great sacrifices of Leviticus; the priest Melchezedek from Genesis 14; and the Law itself. All, our author argues, are merely copies or shadows of the good things that were to come.

As the Psalms take us into the heart of David, so do Proverbs, Ecclesiastes and the Song of Songs take us into the heart of Solomon. The book of Proverbs fits squarely into the genre of “advice to a son” literature. In this book Solomon offers advice to his son, advice to a young man going out into the world for the first time.

As we know from our own experience: bad things often happen to good people, even when they are fully aligned with God. So what gives? Job explores this paradox, calling into question the fundamental lessons we learn in the first 700 pages of Scripture. Each book after Esther in the Christian canon of the Hebrew Scriptures is a recapitulation into the main narrative. Job takes us back to the start, to the time of Abraham, and it raises serious questions.

Story
Traditionally ascribed to Jude, a brother of both James and the Lord, mentioned in Matthew 13:58, Jude had wanted to write a rather thorough theological treatise, but present circumstances in the church compel him to address a different topic: what believers can do in days of apostasy. Written sometime in the late 80s or early 90s, this epistle offers very practical advice for those living in what appear to be the "end times".

Habakkuk is the prophet with a question mark for a brain! “Why,” he asks, does a God of justice allow injustice to flourish; why does violence prevail? And God provides an answer: “Look at the nations and watch and be utterly amazed, for I am going to do something in your day that you would not believe even if you were told. I am raising up the Babylonians!” Through Habakkuk God takes credit for using the Babylonians as his instrument of judgment on Judah and Jerusalem.

Story
From Genesis through Judges we have a straight, linear narrative; in Ruth we have a recapitulation, a backward glance into the main story. When we look over our shoulders at the linear path we have followed, we see only a charred, smoking and bloody landscape. Ruth is a diamond lying in the muck and mire of Judges, flashing in the sunlight. “Back in the days when the Judges ruled”... there was Ruth—the greatest love story in the Bible, a story of redemption.

Editor reviews
Dr. Bill Creasy's "1 Peter" is a live lecture about the first epistle of Peter, not a performance of the actual text of the epistle. Biblical scholar Dr. Creasy analyzes this important book from the New Testament with insight and warmth. A natural storyteller, Dr. Creasy employs dramatic pacing to engage the listener. Meanwhile, his voice is certainly easy on the ears and the subtle incorporation of the audience's reactions makes one feel very present with this audiobook. With years of experience as a professor and a scholar, Dr. Creasy's lecture surely appeals to religious and academic listeners alike.
Summary
Peter and Paul were close associates, and Peter had read many of Paul's writings, some of which, he says “are hard to understand”. Peter was a commercial fisherman, not a scholar like Paul. Nonetheless, Peter has in mind in the early 60s to write an epistle addressing a number of important issues - but he doesn’t feel rhetorically equipped to do so. Enter Paul’s associate, Silas. Peter says, “With the help of Silas I have written this letter.” And what a letter it is! In it Peter addresses salvation, grace, faith, the Trinity, atonement, and a host of other topics, any one of which would fill a library with theological books. Join Logos Bible Study’s Dr. Bill Creasy as he delves into this extraordinary epistle, written by Peter, with the help of Silas.

Great lecturer!
I teach an adult sunday school class. I use several different sources of information, however i really enjoy Bill's commentary. He has been to the places he is teaching about, and sometimes knowing the physical terrain can add one more layer of understanding. I would highly recommend this commentary to anyone wishing to learn more about the bible.

Specifics, How to BE
As always, Bill Creasy speaks Scripture and brings it ALIVE, before you in panoramic vision. To me, the Epistle of Peter holds Spiritual wisdom and a " training". Specifically, not just what is expected of Christian's, but more, the detailed areas of our temptation's and challenge's, and how to react to them. Learned much from listening and reading Scripture alongside, from the Epistles of Peter.

Stand firm in faith in the face of suffering
The book is a great reminder to stay strong in faith even if our faith leads to suffering. A memorable point in the book is: "be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble. Do no repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit blessing." That to me sums up Christians' behavior in the world. Another thing to think about is, "Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give a reason for the hope you have." As always Creasy does a great job expounding on the text to help us understand what the author is telling us.

One of the best teachings of Peter
I have read or heard teaching of Peter1 before and cant believe how much I missed or skipped over without realizing it. Always good idea to follow along in your Bible.
