Manual for Sojourners: A Study on Peter's Use of Scripture and Its Relevance Today

Peter reads the messages originally addressed by God to sojourners in the Old Testament as the same messages God had for the sojourning believers of Peter’s generation. No wonder Peter used these same exhortations to instruct first-century believers in the diaspora. For Peter, the Old Testament was their Scripture. For us today, the Old Testament and New Testament are our Scripture. God’s messages for the faithful sojourners in the Old Testament and New Testament are the same message he has for sojourners of all generations, including ours.
