Reproduction of the original: The Expositor's Bible: The Epistles of St. Peter by J.Rawson Lumby

"The Expositor's Bible: The Epistles of St. Peter" by J.Rawson Lumby is a series of letters (1887 - 1894). The two letters which bear the name of St. Peter have from the earliest times met with very different degrees of acceptance. The genuineness of the First Epistle is attested by the unanimous voice of primitive Christendom. As it is addressed to Christians dwelling in different parts of Asia Minor, it is natural to look for knowledge of it in those countries. And nowhere is it earlier noticed. Polycarp, Bishop of Smyrna, a contemporary of the last surviving Apostle, whose martyrdom took place about the middle of the second century, has repeated quotations from this Epistle.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

This book is a Bible commentary of the Johannine epistles, which are three of the catholic epistles of the New Testament. Most scholars agree that all three letters are written by the same author, although there is debate on who that author is.
