In his first epistle Peter writes to the saints in Asia Minor from the perspective of their lives as pilgrims. As sojourners in a strange land, they are on a journey through this world toward their eternal home.

How must these pilgrims (and how must we), torn between this world and the next, walk in all the relationships of this life? Peter’s answers this question in his letter which serves as a pilgrim’s manual.

Believers will find A Pilgrim’s Manual to be full of instruction, comfort, and hope as they wend their way toward their eternal home.

What others are saying about this book:

"A Pilgrim’s Manual is rooted in exegetical integrity and is rich in doctrinal commentary, as Hanko takes us phrase by phrase through Peter’s first letter. In his Pref­ace, Hanko speaks of his debt to Herman Hoeksema, as he was privileged to sit under H.H.’s chapel talks on I Peter while in the early years of the Protestant Re­formed Seminary. And, indeed, Hanko makes frequent reference to Hoek­sema’s exegesis in his own commentary. Yet Hanko is a skilled ex­egete in his own right, and this commentary reflects much of his own work. Having preached through the epistle in his early ministry, and having taught New Testament Greek for many years in the Protestant Reformed Seminary, Hanko builds on the work of H.H. and other exegetes and develops the concepts and truths of this letter even further. The result is a commentary that is fresh, deep, and rich in doctrinal teaching. We sincerely welcome and heartily recommend A Pil­grim’s Manual to Christian readers everywhere. It will serve as a profitable addition to your personal or family library. It will feed your soul and strengthen your faith whether you use it for your group Bible study or for your personal devotions. Above all, this work will confirm you in the one hope we have as believers—the hope of our everlasting home with the Lord. By all means get this book, study the manual, and then press on, pil­grim!" - Charles Terpstra
