| Summary | "The Expositor's Bible: The Epistles of St. Peter" by J. Rawson Lumby is a theological examination of the biblical epistles attributed to St. Peter, written in the late 19th century. This work is part of a larger series known as "The Expositor's Bible," which aims to provide scholarly commentary and exposition on various books of the Bible. The analysis delves into the historical authenticity and doctrinal significance of St. Peter's letters, exploring their relevance for early Christians facing persecution and their connections to broader Christian teachings. The opening portion of the book includes a detailed preface discussing the authenticity and acceptance of the First Epistle of St. Peter throughout early Christian history. Lumby synthesizes early Church testimonies and modern critical perspectives, addressing debates regarding the epistle's authorship and doctrinal content. He emphasizes the letter's importance for understanding the trials faced by believers in Asia Minor and its practical implications, such as the call to holiness and the encouragement to endure suffering in faith. This groundwork sets the stage for a closer examination of the epistle's themes, which include identity in Christ, the hope of salvation, and the transformative nature of faith.
