The First Letter of Peter

Reinhard Feldmeier is Professor of New Testament at G?Aettingen, and guest professor at Sao Leopoldo, Brazil.

Reinhard Feldmeier has produced an exceptional commentary that is not only brilliant academically, but one that is also edifying. Feldmeier is at once erudite and accessible. Here is an exegetical commentary that unfailingly leads the reader to the meaning and significance of the text. I recommend it with the greatest enthusiasm. --Donald A. Hagner, George Eldon Ladd Professor of New Testament, Fuller Theological Seminary In terms of commentaries that focus primarily on the Greek text, Feldmeier's contribution is significant for its readability, relatively condensed nature... and theological weightiness. I concur with the cover endorsements that praise F[eldmeier]'s marvelous handling of the literary and social-historical setting. -- Catholic Biblical Quarterly The commentary is characterized throughout by a strong engagement with relevant primary sources.... offers a rich and informative exegesis of the letter which will certainly repay careful study. -- Expository Times
