PAIDEIA: 1 & 2 Peter

In this addition to the well-received Paideia series, New Testament scholars
Duane Watson and Terrance Callan examine cultural context and theological
meaning in First and Second Peter. This commentary, like each in the projected
eighteen-volume series, proceeds by sense units rather than word-by-word or
verse-by-verse. Students, pastors, and other readers will appreciate the
historical, literary, and theological insight Watson and Callan offer in
interpreting First and Second Peter.
About the Series: Paideia commentaries explore how New Testament texts form
Christian readers by
* attending to the ancient narrative and rhetorical strategies the text
employs
* showing how the text shapes theological convictions and moral habits
* commenting on the final, canonical form of each New Testament book
* focusing on the cultural, literary, and theological settings of the text
* making judicious use of maps, photos, and sidebars in a reader-friendly
format.
Duane Watson and Terrance Callan have written a solid, rhetorically " informed commentary that fulfills the aspirations of the Paideia
series - namely, a work that will be readable, informative, and serviceable for
students of the New Testament. Their depth of scholarship on these works,
gained from years of study and teaching, is now made accessible in one place. I
look forward to recommending this work to my own students. - Peter H. " Davids
