description: A new commentary for today's world ,  The Story of God Bible Commentary  explains and illuminates each passage of Scripture in light of the Bible's grand story. The first commentary series to do so, SGBC offers a clear and compelling exposition of biblical texts, guiding everyday readers in how to creatively and faithfully live out the Bible in their own contexts. Its story-centric approach is ideal for pastors, students, Sunday school teachers, and laypeople alike. Each volume employs three main, easy-to-use sections designed to help readers live out God's   —1 Peter— Peter shows a strong dependance upon the Old Testament to connect his readers to the story of God in which God draws people into a community. Peter demonstrates that the Christian community is to be a united people of God, not merely a group of individuals who happen to possess similar beliefs. Edited by Scot McKnight and Tremper Longman III, and written by a number of top-notch theologians,  The Story of God Bible Commentary  series will bring relevant, balanced, and clear-minded theological insight to any biblical education or ministry.
