    1-2 Thessalonians

    The IVP New Testament Commentary Series

    by G. K. Beale

    Fascination with the end times is not just a recent phenomenon. The young church at Thessalonica, having taken root during Paul's brief stay there, pondered when the end might come as well. Paul, in order to instruct them more fully, wrote them two letters, which taken together expound the "already-and-not-yet" character of the end times. His instruction and counsel can serve us well today. Throughout ...

    2 Peter and Jude

    The IVP New Testament Commentary Series

    by Robert Harvey and Philip H. Towner

    The miracle of being forgiven is perhaps equaled only by the wonder of also being trusted again.

    2 Peter and Jude

    An Introduction and Commentary

    Tyndale New Testament Commentaries

    by E. Michael Green

    "The epistle of 2 Peter has had a very rough passage down the centuries," says Michael Green in this commentary. "Its entry into the Canon was precarious in the extreme . . . It was deemed second-class Scripture by Luther, rejected Erasmus, and regarded with hesitancy by Calvin." And about Jude he says, "WE can learn a great deal about a man by listening to what he has to say about himself. Jude ...

He longs to protect them from both error and evil and to see them firmly established in faith, love and holiness. He has no new doctrine for them.

    Knowing Jesus Through the Old Testament

    Knowing God Through the Old Testament Set

    by Christopher J. H. Wright

    We cannot know Jesus without knowing his story. Today the debate over who Jesus is rages on. Has the Bible bound Christians to a narrow and mistaken notion of Jesus? Should we listen to other gospels, other sayings of Jesus, that enlarge and correct a mistaken story? Is the real Jesus entangled in a web of the church's Scripture, awaiting liberation from our childhood faith so he might speak to ...
