1 & 2 Peter, 1, 2 & 3 John, Jude
Course Description:
Unlock Deeper Biblical Understanding with Russ Walden
Many Christians today primarily hear topical sermons, but author Russ Walden encourages a return to expositional Bible study – reading every verse to truly understand God’s message. In his new e-book, Walden offers dynamic and prophetic insights into 1 & 2 Peter, 1, 2 & 3 John, and Jude.
Exploring the Books:
- 1 Peter: Attributed to Jesus’ disciple Peter (likely dictated to John Mark), this letter was written to persecuted Christians dispersed after the sacking of Jerusalem. It encourages patience and hope amid suffering.
- 2 Peter: Written to Christians in Asia Minor, this book addresses controversies like the coming of Christ, references the Book of Enoch and Gnostic heresies, and uniquely cites Paul’s writings as “scripture.”
- 1 John: Emphasizes authentic gospel preaching from personal experience. John highlights the importance of sharing what apostles “have seen with their eyes and have handled with their hands” of the Word of Life, stressing that true ministry comes from a life impacted by Christ.
- 2 & 3 John: These personal letters, believed to be by the same author as 1 John, address false doctrines concerning Jesus’ incarnation (2 John) and express personal affection and concern between friends (3 John).
- Jude: Authored by Jude, brother of James (and half-brother of Jesus), this book also touches on false teachings. Jude’s descendants were later persecuted by Emperor Trajan as the last known relatives of King David.
