This series gives the Bible teacher suitable tools to understand the context of Biblical books; doctrinal themes; the methords of interpretation; the key teaching points and how to communicate that message to the hearer.
Whilst very useful for preachers, this book is also aimed at equipping small group study leaders, youth workers and other bible teachers.
The books are purposely practical. Section One contains basic 'navigation' material to get you into the text of 1 Peter. Section Two works systematically through a suggested preaching or Bible study series. Preaching outlines and Bible study qestions are included for each passage.
The message of 1 Peter is vital for Christians living in any generation, not least our own, showing us how we should live as God's people in a godless world.
