A question I am asked from time to time is, "Where are the NCT commentaries?" It's a good question. Lord willing, there will be a good answer down the road as worthy pastors and scholars undertake the laborious process of writing them.
In the meantime, what I propose to do over the upcoming weeks is to embark on a verse-by-verse study of First Peter from a distinctly NCT perspective. Obviously, much of the epistle would be interpreted similarly by all believers. But where NCT sees things differently, I will try to point it out.
My approach will be devotional and pastoral. My assumptions will be that the reader believes the Gospel and is committed to the Scripture as the inspired word of God. Therefore, I will have no interest in offering a defense of the Truth against liberalism or skepticism.
If you are not currently engaged in a slow, meditative study of God's Word, I encourage you to walk through First Peter with me. It is a wonderful reminder of our hope in Christ Jesus the Lord.
