Review Quotes
"Helyer adeptly navigates the text to glean insights on the most significant themes and ideas, while his awareness of the exegetical alternatives is apparent, and he is genuinely charitable toward dissenting opinions. Those who share the author's presuppositions will likely find a great deal of useful and edifying material concerning Peter's theology, and this is precisely where the book's greatest strength lies."
