First and Second Peter

Everyman's Bible Commentary

by Louis A. Barbieri

Designed for lay people, the Everyman's Bible Commentary Series deals seriously with biblical texts without being overly technical. In First & Second Peter, Louis Barbieri takes these books passage by passage, providing background and scholarly interpretation. First Peter is a practical book about the Christian's behavior before God, the world, and fellow believers. Second Peter discusses the characteristics of the believer and warns against false teachers and doctrines that creep into the church.

[Matthew Crandall · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is part of the Everyman’s Bible Commentary series; I chose to pair it with the June 2026 “Today In The Word” devotional guide. It paired nicely; it gave a little more insight into Peter’s thoughts without going too deep. More serious scholars may find this doesn’t go deep enough; but then, it is called Everyman’s Bible Commentary for a reason: it is for everyone.
