| Summary |
"An Analyticall Exposition of both the Epistles of the Apostle Peter" by William Ames is a theological commentary written in the early 17th century. The work aims to provide a thorough analysis of the two epistles attributed to the Apostle Peter, discussing their doctrines and practical applications for the Christian life. This commentary explores themes of faith, grace, and holiness, offering insights into how believers can understand and apply Scripture in their daily lives. The opening of this exposition sets the stage by indicating that it will analyze the first epistle of Peter, emphasizing the apostle’s exhortation for believers to remain steadfast in God’s grace. It outlines the structure and main themes of the epistle, focusing on the dual aspects of grace—how it relates to personal salvation and guides ethical behavior. The author details the specific audience addressed by Peter and draws doctrinal conclusions from the text, illustrating the relationship between divine election and sanctification. As the exposition unfolds, it lays a foundation for practical holiness and Christian conduct, paralleling theological principles with applicable teachings for believers.
