This new edition of Karen Jobes's acclaimed commentary on 1 Peter takes recent scholarship into account and has been updated and revised throughout."Jobes's 1 Peter commentary has long been my go-to. She writes with scholarly depth and pastoral clarity, and her first edition was the most universally useful and comprehensive commentary on my shelf. This second edition updates Jobes's translations and the arguments around the use of the LXX/OG, causing her strength in language and textual histories to shine even brighter. For the casual student or the advanced scholar, this second edition has solidified its place as my top recommendation for a 1 Peter commentary."--Mariam Kovalishyn, Regent College"Ever since it first appeared, Jobes's commentary on 1 Peter has been my primary textbook for teaching this letter. This revised edition keeps the best of what she wrote before while also interweaving interactions with the most valuable literature of recent years along with gems of contemporary application. Jobes's judicious conclusions merit acceptance at almost every turn. A great resource has become even better."--Craig L. Blomberg, Denver Seminary (emeritus)"Jobes's welcome new edition retains her clear exegetical analysis and her evaluation of the main theological themes of 1 Peter, which are what made her first edition so comprehensive. This updated text expands on Jobes's distinctive contributions to the study of 1 Peter and includes an additional section on the ways the Greek Jewish Scriptures have shaped the letter. Jobes decisively models how to consider various interpretive issues and viewpoints while also asserting and supporting her own positions."--Janette H. Ok, Fuller Theological Seminary"Jobes's completely updated commentary presents a well-argued discussion of significant introductory matters. Her careful exegesis and attention to the use of the Old Testament in 1 Peter is noteworthy. I highly recommend this commentary for students and church leaders who are looking for a clear, understandable presentation of 1 Peter."--Ruth Anne Reese, Asbury Theological Seminary
