Review Quotes: "As we focus on the theme 'God's Church for God's World' in Lambeth 2020 it is God's Word that directs and informs the Church how to live in the World. The Global Commentary on 1 Peter is a tapestry of the foundational themes for the Christian Community of a living hope, holiness, witness, suffering, joy, hospitality, exile, leadership, resistance and resilience and the resurrection. The commentary reminds us that the vocation, the call, of all is to holiness and to God. I strongly commend it to God's Church as we engage with God's World."--The Most Rev. P.K Samantaroy, Bishop of Amritsar and Former Moderator, Church of North India
