Top 5 commentaries on the book of 1 Peter

Keith Mathison at the Ligonier Ministries blog:

1. Edmund Clowney -- The Message of 1 Peter (The Bible Speaks Today, 1988).

2. Karen Jobes -- 1 Peter (Baker Exegetical Commentary on the New Testament, 2005). Those needing in-depth exegetical analysis will not want to pass up the BECNT volume on 1 Peter by Jobes. It is a good companion to the work mentioned above by Clowney. If you have a limited budget, pick up the volumes by Clowney and Jobes, and they will serve you well.

3. Thomas Schreiner -- 1, 2 Peter, Jude (New American Commentary, 2003).

4. Peter Davids -- The First Epistle of Peter (New International Commentary on the New Testament, 1990).

5. Wayne Grudem -- 1 Peter (Tyndale New Testament Commentaries, 1988).
