Valuable comentary
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
This is an excellent commentary for a quick study of I Peter. It is short, some 200 pages, yet provides reasonable depth and insight into what Peter was saying to the audience of his time. Marshall then provides his view on how Peter's message can apply to us today. The extensive footnotes provide more depth for those seeking more meat.
Solid but Disappointed at Times!

I enjoy the writings of Dr. Marshall. He is oftentime solid. But I am a bit disappointed at times with this commentary. I am aware that it is a limited commentary and it has a particular scope, however, he could have been more concrete on some matters. For example, I find him too tentative at 1 Peter 5:1-4. A good one but not the best.

From the back of the book: In this invigorating volume from one of today's leading evangelical scholars, readers will find an introduction that discusses the letter's form, authorship, destination, and primary theological themes, followed by a passage-by-passage commentary that always seeks to answer the question of what the text means for today and what it meant for its original hearers.
