Publisher's Description
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.

“Whether you are a migrant, a refugee, or simply felt like a stranger in this world, this book will inspire and uplift you with its message of hope and resilience as God’s chosen people. It is a must-read for anyone seeking to deepen their faith and find meaning in the midst of life’s many challenges.”
“May I highly recommend this expository commentary on 1 Peter that applies biblical instructions, not only for spiritual ‘sojourners’ who look forward to the future world which God promised, but also especially for the actual migrants of today who live outside their homelands and who see the value of living a life of dignity and purpose in their new host contexts. This interdisciplinary study includes perspectives from the fields of economics, history, geography, sociology, and anthropology—a truly enriching guidebook indeed!”
