The College Press NIV Commentary: 1, 2 Peter

Overview

These two letters of Peter were written to first century Christians needing clear instruction about their faith in Christ. By the leading of the Holy Spirit, these letters have remained timeless. No matter which period of church history one might want to discuss, these letters fit well. Christian character, holiness, the Day of Judgment, and the Second Coming are always important to the proper development of a Christian's faith.
