How do we live in times of suffering and difficulty? How did Yeshua and the apostles respond when facing injustice and hostility? Peter, one of Yeshua's closest disciples, spoke forcefully to these challenges. This class is an in-depth look at 1 Peter, its theology, and its counsel regarding how to respond to unjust suffering in light of the living hope that we have in the Messiah. We will be highlighting five key texts that will help us to answer the question: How shall we then live?
