Parting Counsels (Classic Reprint): An Exposition of the First Chapter of the Second Epistle of the Apostle Peter, With Four Additional Discourses - Tapa blanda
Sinopsis
Parting Counsels offers a clear, pastor’s guide to the opening of 2 Peter, with practical, faith‑strengthening insight. This nonfiction work presents a careful exposition of the first chapter of the Second Epistle of Peter, paired with four additional discourses. Written from a long pastor’s perspective, it aims to help readers understand the text’s call to steadfast faith, growth in virtue, and confident living before God.
In this edition, the author grounds his teaching in the apostle’s own premises: that the gospel has been reliably witnessed, that divine truth is not private interpretation, and that the surest way to endure is to hold to the prophetic word. The volume blends doctrinal clarity with experiential, practical application, making it suitable for study, sermon prep, or personal growth.
What you will experience
- A clear outline of the opening section of 2 Peter, including the call to add virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, and more to faith.
- Discussion of the apostle’s resolutions—how he intends to keep the readers mindful and prepared for life and death.
- Exploration of the grounds for these resolutions, including eyewitness testimony, prophecies, and miraculous signs.
- Four added discourses addressing assurance, salvation, the Christian economy, and ministry concerns.
Ideal for readers who study Scripture devotionally or end‑user pastors shaping teaching series, this edition provides steady guidance anchored in the text and its historical context, while remaining accessible to general readers seeking practical faith formation.

Excerpt from Parting Counsels: An Exposition of the First Chapter of the Second Epistle of the Apostle Peter, With Four Additional Discourses
The same objections do not hold with regard to the first chapter of the Epistle. Though it also has its difficulties, arising chiefly, from peculiarities Of con struction; yet on dealing with these, they did not seem insurmountable. I have obtained what appears to myself a more satisfactory view - of the chapter than I have met with in any one commentator, and I would be ashamed of being backward to afford my brethren a participation in any advantage which I may have thus gained. The niggard of knowledge is the worst of all niggards.

Excerpt from Parting Counsels: An Exposition of the First Chapter of the Second Epistle of the Apostle Peter, With Four Additional Discourses
Besides, on examining the second and third chapters, I found, that while the general object and meaning of most of the statements in them seemed plain, there was much, regarding the sense of particular phrases and the reference of some of the discussions, so involved in uncertainty, as to forbid me, till better informed and more fully assured, to come forward as their interpreter.
The same objections do not hold with regard to the first chapter of the Epistle. Though it also has its difficulties, arising chiefly, from peculiarities of construction; yet on dealing with these, they did not seem insurmountable. I have obtained what appears to myself a more satisfactory view of the chapter than I have met with in any one commentator, and I would be ashamed of being backward to afford my brethren a participation in any advantage which 1 may have thus gained. The niggard of knowledge is the worst of all niggards.
No portion of an inspired book can suffer less from separate interpretation than this chapter. It is complete within itself, and contains a remarkably condensed and impressive view of truth, doctrinal, experimental, and practical, most harmoniously blended.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the core of Christian faith, exploring the concept of "like precious faith" as shared by the apostles and all true believers. Set against the backdrop of early Christian thought and drawing upon the writings of the Apostles Peter, Paul, and John, the author meticulously examines the essence of this shared faith ââ â a belief in justification through the righteousness of Jesus Christ, received not by works but by faith.

He elucidates how it brings peace, purifies the heart, and ignites a life of active love and good works.
