From the cover:

From the back of the book: The authors explain how 1 Peter applies Jesus' teaching on loving the enemy to believers in Asia Minor. Peter empowers them to be communities of hope, not retaliating for abuse they suffer, but bearing witness to their Lord by word, lifestyle, and doing good. They also show how 2 Peter and Jude are relevant since the church still faces ethical compromises and pastoral dilemmas. The apocalyptic imagery stresses that the concerns of Christian faithfulness and faith are crucial. The church needs such moral exhortation. This is solid biblical exposition in a reader-friendly format. It offers careful and detailed analysis of these books in clear, accessible language and quotes Anabaptists working out understandings of faith under intense suffering.
