Riv, Renner Interpretive Version: 1 and 2 Peter

What Is the RIV?
The Renner Interpretive Version of the New Testament is an expanded, interpretive version based on Rick Renner's exposition of the original language of the New Testament -- Koine Greek.
The RIV is not a word-for-word translation -- it's a conceptual interpretation that draws upon concepts in the Greek language and expresses them in a way that supplies a broader comprehension of Scripture.
By extracting imagery presented in the Greek language and conveying it to readers using contemporary speech, Rick brings these words to life, drawing lovers of the Bible into a deeper study of God's message to His people for all time.
About This Installment
Peter, also called Simon, Simon Peter, and Cephas, was an unrefined, unpolished fisherman when Jesus called him as one of His 12 disciples and apostles of the Christian faith that would spread far and wide after Christ's crucifixion and resurrection. Peter was a bold witness and a man who'd experienced great grace throughout his lifetime. His epistles are powerful messages with great relevance for us today!
This installment of the Renner Interpretive Version features: - Insight into Peter's prophetic writings about Christ's past redemption of the saints, the present circumstances of their day, and the future still to come.- Historical usage of the words Peter was inspired to use that illuminate their timeless message to his readers then and to us today.- All this in 384 pages, 166 verses, and more than 1,600 footnotes!
In every installment of the RIV, you'll find: - A historical introduction to each book, including the time in which it was written and a brief bio of the author. - Each verse expanded to provide word pictures and concepts contained in the Koine Greek language to add fuller meaning to Scripture. - Large-sized, two-toned pages that make it easy to do a parallel comparison of the King James Version with the RIV.- Easy-to-understand footnote explanations and commentary from Rick Renner based on his 45-plus years of scholarly research. - An "all-in-one" Bible-study tool in a 7.5" x 10" hardbound cover!
Without knowing the nuances contained in the original language, there are riches we can miss. So dive deep and discover the treasures contained in the words of the New Testament and let the RIV guide you into a fresh Bible-study adventure!
