First Peter provides Christians with hope for the future of humanity as Christianity left its Jerusalem “nest” with Christ’s mission for the world. It provides a message of hope in the face of struggle and suffering as Christianity first undermines the paganism of Roman culture in order to provide the foundation for Christian culture. The transition, said Peter, will be difficult—but rewarding.Second Peter continues this same theme, but acknowledges that the tran-sition process may be more difficult than first expected because there were false teachers who had successfully entered the ranks of the church, and were actively working to destroy God’s plan of salvation in Christ. Indeed, the unfolding of God’s plan for the salvation of humanity has taken much longer than any of the biblical writers first thought, though it has not surprised God in the least. Nonetheless, said Peter, stay true to Christ because the process of His progressive revelation in history will continue to provide true guidance."...full of remarkable insight, practical application, and rich content. Prepare to have your faith strengthened and your life transformed through Biblical truth." –Thomas E. Hendershot

Phillip A. Ross has pastored churches in Berkeley, California; St. Louis, Missouri, Evansville, Indiana; Bellefonte, Pennsylvania; and Marietta, Ohio. With a B.S in Philosophy from the University of Colorado, an M.Div. from Pacific School of Religion, California and various professional credentials, Phil has acquired a broad-based perspective that understands Scripture, history, logic, emotion, people and values. As a reformed student of Liberalism, Eastern religions, New Religious Movements and the Church Growth movement, Phil understands both the need for and the fear of church renewal, revival, restoration, reformation — whatever you prefer to call it. Following his post-ordination conversion to biblical Christianity, he has labored for Gospel renewal through radio, music, counseling, and writing. With more than twenty years of ministry leadership, Phil has both an understanding of and experience with the unique circumstances involved in ministry and non-profit organizations. He has particular understanding of and commitment to historic Reformed Christianity. He has extensive teaching, public speaking, seminar and board leadership experience. As a published author of many books and many articles, Phil understands the subtleties of language, grammar, editing, and the art of “turning a phrase.” Phil resides in Marietta, Ohio, with his wife.
