Zondervan 1, 2, & 3 John: NIV Application Commentary [NIVAC]
Scot McKnight has emerged as one of the most popular and influential NT scholars of the last decade. Hip popular blog (Jesus Creed) attracts thousands of daily readers, and his books are perennial bestsellers that prove to be informative, edifying, and challenging.
1 Peter [NIVAC] is no exception to this rule. McKnight does an excellent job of illuminating the rich and troubled circumstances of the original reader's while also skillfully Peter's extensive moral exhortations in light of the original recipients' context. McKnight, who also accepts the so-called "new perspective" on Paul, no doubt reads 1 Peter through similar lenses and equally draws the implications for this non-pauline book. A Master of Application, readers are in store for a rich reward of wisdom and practical extrapolations from the text.

Overall, a good commentary, not very expository. A couple comments are more allegorical than they should be.

Great for homiletic study. Not particularly historical or critical but very helpful in preparing lessons. It accomplishes its purpose.

For some of you who may be simple minded like me, this set helps me to understand ideas and concepts because it has been written for simple minded people and who look for applicational meaning in their studies of the scripture.
