About the Book
This Orthodox Christian commentary is derived from a series of sermons given by His Eminence Metropolitan Youssef of the Coptic Orthodox Diocese of the Southern United States, where His Grace has been serving since the early 90s.
(EPISTLE OF ST. JAMES) PRACTICAL ADVICE FOR CHRISTIAN LIVING: St. James wrote his epistle about very practical aspects of Christian life. In it, you find very clear instructions, with nearly half of the verses providing direct and practical instructions regarding the meaning of “true religion” enduring trials, being a doer of the word and not only a hearer, displaying wisdom, founding your faith in humility, and the blessings of patience, prayer, and love.
(FIRST EPISTLE OF ST. PETER) CONDUCT BEFITTING THE PEOPLE OF GOD: St. Peter writes to Christians who were experiencing persecution, seeking to encourage them to remain steadfast. He reminds them of the privileges Christians claim in Christ, and instructs them likewise about the duties of Christians, as the elect of God, as His special people.
(SECOND EPISTLE OF ST. PETER) LIVE A GODLY LIFE: As St. Peter’s martyrdom was nearing, he tells the flock to beware of false teachers, and to grow in their relationship with God.

Corinth was a very important commercial center which made it easy for it to be a place for all sorts of vice and evil. Also, its closeness to Athens added the problem of intellectualism. Greece was known for its philosophers and philosophy. St. Paul established the church of Corinth during his second missionary trip.
Unfortunately, the immoral environment found in the city adversely affected the church. Reports of the problems within the church reached St. Paul's ears, and so he wrote an earlier letter (1 Corinthians) to answer these reports, correcting sinful practices and refuting false doctrine.
In this second letter, written only a few months after the first, St. Paul, as a caring father, wanted to make sure that his rebukes in the earlier letter were received positively, and that it actually encouraged them to repent. He also focuses his letter on defending his apostleship, rebuking ungodly behavior that still persisted in Corinth, and to encourage them to collect money for the needy in Jerusalem. This letter is one that is quite beneficial to those serving others for God, as it explains how service should be, as we learn from the example of St. Paul.

New to America? Want to serve newcomers? Curious about the history of Coptic immigration to the U.S.A.? Trying to adapt yourself to your new environment?
Coptic Orthodox Christians have been immigrating to the United States in droves over the last few decades, and their ability to adapt to their new environment has varied greatly.
Bishop Youssef has incorporated years of experience observing and guiding Coptic immigrants into a book that details the history of Copts in the U.S.A., and also provides a comprehensive outlook at how Copts can adequately adapt to their new home. His Grace also shares his vision of the future of Coptic Orthodox Christianity in the land of immigration and how people can fruitfully serve those around them.
