An Accessible Verse-by-Verse Commentary of 1 Peter
Choosing a Bible commentary can be a daunting prospect. With complex terms and dense exposition, many are tailored to scholarly theologians rather than everyday believers. And for those selecting resources in order to lead a small-group Bible study, speak at a women’s gathering, or simply grow in their knowledge of God’s Word, it can be hard to know where to start.
With warmth and clarity, Lydia Brownback makes in-depth Bible study accessible without diminishing the richness of God’s Word. Verse-by-verse, Brownback guides readers through the full ESV text of 1 Peter to aid their personal study, group discussion, teaching, and outreach. In this epistle, Peter calls believers to hold fast to Christ, who strengthens them with grace and fills them with hope amid hardship. Each volume in the Conversational Commentary series includes an engaging introduction, historical and cultural background, key themes, and suggestions for deeper study.
- Comprehensive Study Companion: Formatted for personal study, small-group discussions, or as a research tool for Bible teaching and outreach
- Conversational Language: Written in a clear, engaging way that doesn’t sacrifice theological depth
- By Women, for Women: Written by Lydia Brownback, author of the Flourish Bible Study series
- Helpful Study Tools: Includes an introduction, an overview of the text's historical context and themes, verse-by-verse explanations, and suggestions for further study
- Affordable Format: Designed as a paperback to be accessible for a wide audience

“For those looking for an accessible and theologically robust commentary series, start here. These commentaries are informed, responsible, and God glorifying.”
Benjamin L. Gladd, Executive Director, Carson Center for Theological Renewal; series editor, Essential Studies in Biblical Theology
“These commentaries are indeed ‘conversational,’ but they are not without great theological depth and exegetical rigor. I’m so grateful for these dear sisters in Christ—for their biblical wisdom, love for God’s word and God’s people, and desire to help fellow women of God dig into the glorious riches of Scripture. Many thanks to Lydia Brownback and Megan Hill for their editing of these immensely valuable resources!”
Jon Nielson, Founding Pastor, Christ Presbyterian Church, Wheaton, Illinois
“Of the two ways to get into the ocean, wading in from a beach is preferable to being dropped in from a helicopter. If you’re not sure where to start in your study of the Bible, Conversational Commentaries will help guide you into the deep truths of God’s word step-by-step. Why stay on the shore?”
Gloria Furman, author, Labor with Hope and Missional Motherhood
“This is the commentary series I wish I’d had when I started teaching the Bible. Trusted authors offer sound and accessible content for those wanting to deepen their study or strengthen their teaching. Whether you’re new to studying the Bible or you’ve studied it for years, you want this series in your library.”
Colleen D. Searcy, speaker; Bible teacher; author, Meet Me in the Bible study series
“Faithful, relatable, practical—Conversational Commentaries are the first books to pull off the shelf when you need to understand or teach the Bible, passage by passage. Equally valuable for personal study or public witness, the simple yet profound titles in this new series empower godly women to know, apply, and teach the Bible in life-changing ways.”
Philip Graham Ryken, President, Wheaton College
