The Present Truth: Studies in 1 and 2 Peter, James and Jude

Overview

The epistles of 1–2 Peter, James, Jude, 1–3 John, (and sometimes Hebrews) are referred to as the Catholic or General Epistles. The term catholic means universal, and is applied to these epistles because, with the exception of 2–3 John, they are not addressed to the saints in a specific location. They bear the titles of the authors, and the identity of the intended audience is rather general. Because they are not addressed to a specifically named group of believers they contain much practical material of use to Christians of every age and location. The epistle to the Hebrews and the three epistles of John have been covered in previous lecture series. For this series, the epistles of 1–2 Peter, James, and Jude have been selected. These General Epistles provide much material for help in practical, day-to-day living. The keynote of the lectures has been selected from 2 Peter 1:12. The Apostle Peter speaks of “the truth which is present with you.” That truth, which was the word of God as spoken by Christ and His apostles and prophets, is the same truth which is present today. It is the truth to which those associated with Florida College are committed.
