NIVAC 42: 2 Peter, Jude

Most Bible commentaries take us on a one-way trip from the twentieth century
to the first century. But they leave us there, assuming that we can somehow
make the return journey on our own. In other words, they focus on the original
meaning of the passage but don't discuss its contemporary application. The
information they offer is valuable - but the job is only half done! The NIV
Application Commentary Series helps us with both halves of the interpretive
task. This new and unique series shows readers how to bring an ancient message
into modern context. It explains not only what the Bible means but also how it
can speak powerfully today.The apostles Peter and Jude wouldnÉt have
made good postmodernists. They insist that there is such a thing as absolute,
non-negotiable truth, as well as error and deception. They speak of false
doctrines and those who teach them as if they actually believe that eternity
hangs in the balance and that God, far from shrugging his shoulders like a good
relativist, takes the matters of truth and spiritual authority very
seriously.
Today the fiery, unapologetic language of 2 Peter and Jude can
open our eyes to stark spiritual realities. Like few other apostolic writings,
these two letters shake us awake to the vital necessity of embracing the true
gospel and transmitting it undistorted. The message is as countercultural as
possible, and profoundly timely.Series: NIV Application
