INTRO TO 1 Peter
Many first-century followers of Christ were suffering and being abused and persecuted for believing in and obeying Jesus. Beginning in Jerusalem at the hands of their Jewish relatives, the persecution spread to the rest of the world—wherever Christians gathered. It climaxed when Rome determined to rid the empire of the “Christ-ones”—those who would not bow to Caesar.
Peter knew persecution firsthand. He had been beaten, jailed, and threatened often. He had seen fellow Christians die and the church disperse to different regions. But he knew Christ, and nothing could shake his confidence in his risen Lord. So Peter wrote to the church that was scattered and suffering for the faith, giving comfort and hope and urging continued loyalty to Christ.
Bible Study Resources We Recommend
These resources are available to church participants at a much reduced cost.

The question remains, "What does it really say?" Here is a book that explains the greatest of Bible themes clearly and logically. Rather than focusing on one part-and missing the whole-the author chronologically binds together the entire text into one great universal drama, looking at events from the perspective of those who experienced history in the making.
"Even though I had attended church for over 30 years, the Bible never made sense to me. It was just a bunch of disjointed stories. Now the Bible all fits together in a clear, logical manner."

The Moody Handbook of Theology leads the beginner into the appreciation and understanding of this essential field of study. It introduces the reader to the five dimensions that provide a comprehensive view of theology: biblical, systematic, historical, dogmatic and contemporary.
The apostle Paul wrote that all Scripture is 'profitable for teaching' (2 Tim. 3:16), that Timothy should 'pay close attention to...your teaching' (1 Tim. 4:16), and that leaders should 'be able both to exhort in sound doctrine and to refute those who contradict' (Titus 1:9). When he wrote these statements, Paul was referring to theology.
Beyond giving basic definitions and general descriptions, author Paul Enns summarizes the substantial features of theology. In this way, he provides a concise doctrinal reference tool for the newcomer as well as the seasoned scholar seeking a refresher.
