In Peter’s writings to the early church, there is not only a promise of new life and brotherhood, but of trial for Christ-followers. Challenging his readers to model the love of Jesus, Peter wanted his readers to see persecution as an opportunity and a gift. Illustrated by Stephen Procopio, Reason for the Hope displays how the early church sought to follow Jesus among a society that did not.

The text translation is the American Literary Version by Writ Press, a gently updated revision of the 1901 American Standard Version specially developed for the multi-volume edition of the Bible titled Bibliotheca. Exceptionally literal among modern translations, the ALV preserves the literary qualities of the base translation favoring the ancient idioms and grammar of the original languages.
