The Letters of Peter, John & Jude: Living in Jesus

by Gary Holloway

Overview

A study of the shorter and sometimes neglected letters of the New Testament -- 1 & 2 Peter, 1, 2 & 3 John and Jude. As you study these letters you will be called to imitate the sacrificial life of Jesus while focusing on faith. The meditative style of "holy reading" makes the text more memorable and applicable to our lives. The Bible is not just an ancient book to study but a living window into the very life of Jesus. One way we encounter the living Jesus in the Bible is through the time-tested method of "holy reading" or meditation. This commentary series provides a structure for that encounter with Jesus. Holy reading involves listening closely to a brief passage of Scripture, reading it repeatedly, praying the words, letting them sink deeply into the heart. It can also be a communal exerience as we listen to God with other believers. Through meditation on these wonderful little letters, we experience the blessings of living for Jesus.
