PDF ebook of Honour, Fear, and Love: The Shape of Christian Faithfulness in a Post-Christian Society

Honour, Fear, and Love distills the Spirit-inspired wisdom of 1 Peter and applies it to Christian living in the twenty-first century. It takes 1 Peter 2 verse 17 as a key verse and considers the implications of its four commands. The result is a highly practical and challenging call for Christians to know how and when to serve others, to speak about Christ, to submit to the authorities, and to suffer faithfully.
