1 & 2 Peter: Bible Keywording Guide (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781952955310)

After his denial of Jesus, Peter probably grew to hate the sound of roosters crowing. However, it wasn't long after Christ ascended to heaven that Peter came into his own and embraced the role of a leader who would gladly suffer at the hands of men for the sake of His Lord. A fisherman, husband, apostle, preacher, elder, and eventual martyr - Peter lived his life to show the world Jesus. He wrote his first letter to assure suffering Christians that their faith in the Lord is worth it. Life has its challenges, but they are temporary. The crown of glory is unfading. His second letter is a reminder that godliness is possible in an ungodly world. God has promised to save those who have obeyed His Word, and that judgment and destruction await those who love unrighteousness. Use this guide to mark Peter's key words and concepts, immersing yourself in these great letters from a man who was forged into a pillar of the church by Jesus Himself.

The Bible Keywording Guide (BKG) is an easy-to-use series of manuals designed to help Bible students of any level identify and mark critical information found in each book of the Bible. This includes things like key words, purpose statements, prayers, etc. Each Bible book has its own set of peculiarities that, when marked, help the reader understand what the author is really saying.

I was told once by a friend that before he understood what keywording was, a mechanical pencil and a yellow highlighter were "standard procedure" when it came to marking important ideas and insights in his Bible. Maybe this sentiment has been true for you as well. Engage in this process and see how the Bible Keywording Guide will take you beyond the highlighter and bring you to a whole new level of Bible study!

WHAT IS A KEY WORD? - A key word is a word that holds significant theological meaning and is often repeated by the author to convey his points and purposes for writing. Key words are related to the themes and overall scope of the books. Without them, the author's emphasis and meanings would be greatly diminished, and even nonexistent in many cases. Keywording is an essential component of Bible study (i.e. exegesis) and is done using colors and/or symbols to distinguish certain words in the text. Leave the highlighter in the drawer...you're using a dynamic and multicolored system now!
