From the bestselling bible commentator alive, we are releasing 2 Peter & Jude, the 24th addition to the MacArthur New Testament Commentary series. This volume will include 9 chapters on 2 Peter and 6 on Jude. These commentaries have been praised for their accessibility to lay leaders and are a must for the library of every pastor. MacArthur gives verse-by-verse analysis in context and provides points of application for passages as well.
John F. MacArthur, Jr. was a United States Calvinistic evangelical writer and minister, noted for his radio program entitled Grace to You and as the editor of the Gold Medallion Book Award-winning MacArthur Study Bible. MacArthur was a fifth-generation pastor, a popular author and conference speaker, and served as pastor-teacher of Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, California beginning in 1969, as well as President of The Master’s College (and the related Master’s Seminary) in Santa Clarita, California.
I wasn't expecting to get as much out of this study as I did from the 1st Peter commentary. But I was astonished at how much meat there is here.
My bible study group just finished our study of 2nd Peter today, and our synopsis was this: in light if the overwhelming amount of false teaching and scoffers out there, just as Peter predicted, we have a heavy responsibility to know and to share the full counsel of God.
Definitely a worthwhile study and very thought provoking in group discussion.
I've been greatly blessed by some of Macarthur's other commentaries (his set on Matthew is very good), but this is not his finest work. Don't waste your money unless you are just trying to fill out your set.
