Understanding what the Bible says about God and humans is very important for our life. But sometimes the Bible can seem confusing, especially when trying to read one of the letters in the Bible where we are only getting one side of the conversation. This book comes alongside you in your study. Written with an average person in mind, you will find easy to understand language that helps clarify important concepts within a passage. Technical words are explained as you read instead of having to use a glossary. To help a passage come alive and the reader gain a better understanding, passages are tied to other passages within the Bible, and the cultural context is given by sharing the historical and cultural situation of the time when the passage was written. The letters of the New Testament studied in this book are by various authors, each with something important to say to the Church of their time and ours. Hebrews reveals Jesus as the Messiah. James gives guidance for practical Christian living. Peter helps us sustain faith with truth amid suffering. The writings of John emphasize the command for Christians to love others. The letter of Revelation guides us to place our hope in God instead of misplacing it in other objects. God did not design the Bible to be confusing. This book is designed to be an understandable Bible commentary for the average person's study of the Bible.
