Overview: Persuasion is a multi-faceted communication phenomenon which makes use of available means in a given situation to move an audience toward an intended goal or outcome. Resources available to persuade or move an audience generally consist of 3 types- logical, emotional, or ethical. As Peter pivots toward applying the message about Christ as healer and savior, he seeks to persuade his audience to embrace Christ through the use of persuasive means. Three motives form the backbone of Peter-s appeal to his audience- spiritual refreshing, catastrophic judgment, and covenant membership. Apparently Peter-s persuasive appeals were powerful as Luke records that many believed and that the total number of Christians came to be about 5,000 -4-4-.
