The apostles Peter and Jude wouldn't 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.

From the Back Cover
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 a modern context. It explains not only what the Bible meant but also how it can speak powerfully today.

Brings an often forgotten part of the NT to the fore.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The NIV Application Commentary 2Peter, Jude (Hardcover)
Moo's commentary certainly does a lot of good for the standing of these often forgotten books. His application to today is particularly good, with the attention to detail that you would expect from a scholar of his standing. It can be used as a great and accessible resource for anyone in ministry. Well worth the read - a highlight in an already promising series.

Great read,

This review is from: The NIV Application Commentary 2Peter, Jude (Hardcover)
As usual, Douglas Moo has a very readable style. The series is one of the best, but can be a bit tedious at times in its predetermined structure of Original Text, Bridging Text, and Contemporary Significance. I feel that the author is sometimes frustrated squeezing into this structure. But generally, the concept works and I'm very happy with the entire series--especially Moo in his Romans and now 2 Peter
4.0 out of 5 stars
