PETER

Eyewitness Majesty

Ted Donnelly's handling of biblical teaching is always marked by faithfulness, insight, wisdom and warmth. All of these qualities abound in this splendid exposition of Simon Peter's life and ministry. It provides the rare combination of helpful, and at times searching, instruction with the genuine Christian pleasure of discovering more about the grace of Jesus Christ.

In his consideration of Peter the Disciple, Ted Donnelly helps us to see the omnipotent and manifold grace of God at work, fashioning the rough-hewn Galilean fisherman into a polished instrument in the hands of the Master. In the contemplation of Peter the Preacher we are helped to see those principles which validate and illustrate the centrality of preaching in the purpose of God, and to consider the kind of preaching owned of God to the accomplishment of his saving purposes. Finally, in the examination of the biblical witness to Peter the Pastor we are led to consider what is involved in being

a shepherd after God's own heart. Albert N. Martin, Pastor, Trinity Baptist Church, Montville, New Jersey
