1 Peter (Tyndale New Testament Commentaries) by Wayne Grudem

1 Peter (Tyndale New Testament Commentaries) Reviews

  To the surprise of no one, this commentary on 1 Peter by Wayne Grudem is excellent. I highly recommend this as the go to resource when studying this important epistle. Grudem not only explains the Greek nuances in translation but references Peter's extensive use of the Old Testament. All in a very readable and understandable style with very in depth explanations of the more difficult passages.
  
  1 Peter is an excellent choice for Christians to understand how to live in a world that isn't really fond of your Christian faith. And this book really helps to bring the message to the heart and soul of the believer.
  
  Highly recommend

  Fantastic little commentary. For it's length, I don't think you can do much better.

  I am a commentary flyweight who ran into a welterweight commentary. What I want from these Tyndale volumes is a nice intro that positions me to understand the author, time, place, message, etc... and then a commentary that tells me in English what each section of the book is about. If the author can take me somewhat deeper while still maintaining understanding and has pastoral thoughts and applications so much the better. This commentary explains every single Greek phrase and often word in detail including all the connecting words. There is no overview, there is only word by word explanations often about why various English versions are wrong. I ended up knowing less than when I started and I got a headache.
  This is John Piper's favorite commentary on 1 Peter. I don't want to read Piper's favorite books. I want Piper, or Bruce, Wright or Moo, to digest these types of commentaries and then after grinding them through their mighty cognitive processes to tell me what the book is about.
  I recommend it highly for everyone who has a better education in Scripture than I do which is probably anyone reading this review.

  Truly excellent in every way. This is purely the sweet creamy frosting on top of the 1 Peter cake I've been baking over the last year haha.. One of my first commentaries, so perhaps down the road I'd be more equipped to critique this more finely. I have a feeling this will forever rank as exceptional, however. Of course I wouldn't recommend this as the primary way to understanding the text (the text is all I should ever need to ultimately deepen my joy), but I savor the reality that I have access to supplementary materials such as this one. I found myself nodding in thorough understanding of what I was learning. If 1 Peter has been a book you've been laboring over, promise me you'll pick this up. This commentary is very dear to my heart!

  A good short, non-technical (nothing in Greek characters), yet exegetical commentary.
  For some reason the author felt it necessary to add a 37-page appendix to support the position he takes on 1 Peter 3:19-20. His position is that these verses refer to Christ preaching through Noah before the flood to unbelievers who are now dead and in hell. I read through it (the only tedious part of the book) and I remain unconvinced.

  Due to the nature and purpose of the Tyndale commentaries, they are intentionally short and do not get too deep into the original languages. I appreciated that Grudem made some excellent applicational points through this commentary. He also points to other resources to dive further into some of the passages and topics.

  Thoroughly conservative, extremely approachable, purposefully theological. Found it good to take a brief dip in. Didn’t turn to this often but when I️ did, he was good. As with most in this series, it was not detailed, technical, or academic. Not great for answering all the tough questions but he did address the major ones.

  Legal!

  This commentary is very user-friendly and Grudem often provided helpful insight. Grudem is a great scholar and I appreciate his work. He is both academic (without being confusing or getting into needless discussions) and pastoral in his writing. The only reason for the 4 star is because I think there were times when he could have gone into more depth. In certain places where more depth was required, he had written appendices on, however, the whole commentary could have used a little more. I'd still recommend for the study of 1 Peter.

  Wonderful little commentary. He brought out all sorts of wonderful truths for each and every section. I really liked how at the end of each section there was a summary thought, these were especially good and very useful! Highly recommended

  The First Epistle Of Peter: An Introduction and Commentary (Tyndale New Testament Commentaries) by Wayne Grudem (?)
• 
  Chris Comis

  Not one of the better commentaries on First Peter. Grudem takes some odd positions on some of the passages. I especially think his baptistic theology got in the way.

  Leandro Dutra

  Best commentary I found on I Peter yet.

  Given its length, this commentary was a great resource when preaching through 1 Peter this past year. Grudem's insights were valuable while preparing for what the text means and how it applies to our current culture. Some of it was technical, but most of it was just enough to help the reader see more into the text. Of course, there is debate on many issues raised in 1 Peter, but Grudem was a helpful voice in navigating those.
