L. M. Grant’s commentaries are easy to understand and
brief—perfect for today’s fast-paced lifestyle. Yet at the same time, there is a depth and
Christ-centeredness that are not always found in more wordy expositions. The author describes the
contents of the First Epistle to Peter:
“Peter’s ministry then deals with the government of the Father in administering this kingdom, which
is the sphere of Christian profession in the world today. Furthermore he stresses the spiritual and
moral responsibilities of believers as subject to such government. Of course, we have a yet more
blessed relationship than this, as members of the body of Christ, the church; but Paul writes of
this, not Peter, who was specially the apostle to the Jews.”
May all who read this commentary drink deeply of its contents and grow in the “true grace of God in
which you
stand” (1 Pet. 5:12).
