1 & 2 Peter
by Robert Leighton and Griffith Thomas
This one's a twofer--two classic commentaries by two different authors in one book. Rev. Thomas' take on 2nd Peter was terse, to the point and kind of meh. Perhaps my reception of his work suffered because he had to follow Rev. Leighton. Archbishop Leighton did a phenomenal job of studying 1st Peter. He pulls apart the text phrase by phrase, connecting them to other scripture passages and the Christian's daily walk with Christ. I can see why they bothered to republish it over 300 years after it was written.
This one's staying on my shelf.
