  • 2 Peter 202 1 Edition Dr
    Notes on 2 Peter 202 1 Edition Dr. Thomas L. Constable HISTORICAL BACKGROUND This epistle claims that the Apostle Peter wrote it (1:1). It also claims to follow a former letter written by Peter (3:1), which appears to be a reference to 1 Peter, although Peter may have been referring to a letter we no longer have.1 The author's reference to the fact that Jesus had predicted a certain kind of death for him (1:14) ties in with Jesus' statement to Peter recorded in John 21:18. Even so, "most modern scholars do not think that the apostle Peter wrote this letter."2 The earliest external testimony (outside Scripture) to Petrine authorship comes from the third century.3 The writings of the church fathers contain fewer references to the Petrine authorship of 2 Peter than to the authorship of any other New Testament book. It is easy to see why critics who look for reasons to reject the authority of Scripture have targeted this book for attack. Ironically, in this letter, Peter warned his readers of heretics who would depart from the teachings of the apostles and the Old Testament prophets, which became the very thing some of these modern critics do. Not all who reject Petrine authorship are heretics, however. The arguments of some critics have convinced some otherwise conservative scholars who no longer retain belief in the epistle's inspiration. "There is clear evidence from the early centuries of Christianity that the church did not tolerate those who wrote in an apostle's name.

Regardless of the external evidence, there is strong internal testimony to the fact that Peter wrote the book. This includes stylistic similarities to 1 Peter, similar vocabulary compared with Peter's sermons in Acts, and the specific statements already mentioned (i.e., 1:1, 14; 3:1).

  • THE TEACHER's OUTLINE & STUDY BIBLE 2 PETER COMMENTARY the SECOND EPISTLE GENERAL of PETER INTRODUCTION »Front Matter Conte
    THE TEACHER'S OUTLINE & STUDY BIBLE 2 PETER COMMENTARY THE SECOND EPISTLE GENERAL OF PETER INTRODUCTION »Front Matter Contents: Author Date To Whom Written Purpose Special Features AUTHOR: Simon Peter, the Apostle (2 Peter 1:1). However, note several facts. (Much of the following is taken from Michael Green. He makes an excellent and scholarly case for Peter's authorship.) (The Second Epistle of Peter and The Epistle of Jude. "The Tyndale New Testament Commentaries," ed. by RVG Tasker. Grand Rapids, MI: Eerdmans, 1968, p.13f). 1. The author is questioned by many commentators. The questioning centers primarily around external evidence such as the following two facts. ⇒ There are no direct references to the book by the earliest Christian writers. ⇒ The first person to mention Second Peter by name was Origen who lived around the middle of the third century. When all of the evidence is considered, however, it points to Peter being the author. a. The earliest church fathers do have statements that are similar to parts of 2 Peter: 1 Clement (A.D. 950), 2 Clement (A.D. 150), Aristides (A.D. 130), Valentinus (A.D. 130), and Hippolytus (A.D. 180). b. The discovery of Papyrus 72, dated in the third century, shows that 2 Peter was well known in Egypt long before. Eusebius also states that Clement of Alexandria had 2 Peter in his Bible and wrote a commentary on it. 2. 2 Peter was not fully accepted into the canon of Scripture until the middle or latter part of the fourth century. Why did it take the church so long to accept 2 Peter as part of the canon of Scripture? This can be explained by two facts.

  • HARMONY of the BOOK of JUDE and 2 PETER Chul Hae Kim*
    HARMONY OF JUDE & 2 PETER 20 HARMONY OF THE BOOK OF JUDE AND 2 PETER Chul Hae Kim* Many parallel passages exist among the sixty-six books in the Bible. There are many ways to approach the relationship of each of these parallel passages. The basic principle that applies to any parallel passages in the Bible is that every book of the Bible relates to each other in a certain way. Some relate in the aspect to the time of writing whether written earlier or later: the prior ones could possibly influence the one written later. Others relate in the aspect of authorship as in the case of the Pauline Epistles and Johannine Epistles. On the other hand, we could get the same “smell” from some books even though authors were different but were influenced by each other. The relationship of some parallel passages could be explained based on certain basic principles without any struggle. All the New Testament books have their origin from Old Testament books. It is not only the New Testament books that quote from the Old Testament; Old Testament Books also quote from other books within the Old Testament. 26 Some passages quote directly from the Old Testament books, but some portions of the New Testament books relate indirectly to the Old Testament. There are many ways of quoting from the Old Testament besides direct quotation. Biblical writers use various kinds of allusions: some related to verbal phrases, others in context (including the canonical context), and the rest in main themes or topics. The study of the relationship between parallel passages is worth taking.

  • Michael Green, 2 Peter Reconsidered, 1961. London
    2 Peter Reconsidered The Rev E.M.B. Green, M.A., B.D. THE TYNDALE NEW TESTAMENT LECTURE, 1960 [p.5] The Second Epistle of Peter was accepted into the Canon in the fourth century with greater hesitation than any other book. That hesitation reappeared at the Reformation when Luther accepted it, Erasmus rejected it, and Calvin was uncertain. The debate has continued, but in the last forty years opinion has hardened against its genuineness, and in many quarters the question is regarded as settled. The aim of this paper is to reconsider the problem, not because the writer has the presumption to dogmatize over a question which has puzzled the ablest heads in the Church for a thousand years, but because the arguments commonly adduced to support the current view of 2 Peter as an undoubted pseudepigraph do not appear to be as securely based as might be expected from the confidence reposed in them. These arguments turn on (i) the external attestation of the book, (ii) the relationship between 2 Peter and Jude, (iii) the contrast between its diction and that of 1 Peter, (iv) the contrast between its doctrine and that of 1 Peter, and (v) various anachronisms and contradictions. Arguments (i) and (iii) alone were used in antiquity; the remainder are of more recent origin. We shall examine these points in turn. THE EXTERNAL ATTESTATION OF 2 PETER The external attestation is inconclusive. No book in the Canon is so poorly attested among the Fathers, though, as Westcott1 shows, 2 Peter has incomparably better support for its inclusion than the best attested of the rejected books.

  • Commentarty on the Second Epistle of Peter
    THE AGES DIGITAL LIBRARY COMMENTARY COMMENTARY ON THE SECOND EPISTLE OF PETER by John Calvin B o o k s F o r Th e A g e s AGES Software • Albany, OR USA Version 1.0 © 1998 COMMENTARIES ON THE SECOND EPISTLE OF PETER THE ARGUMENT The doubts respecting this Epistle mentioned by Eusebius, ought not to keep us from reading it. For if the doubts rested on the authority of men, whose names he does not give, we ought to pay no more regard to it than to that of unknown men. And he afterwards adds, that it was everywhere received without any dispute. What Jerome writes influences me somewhat more, that some, induced by a difference in the style, did not think that Peter was the author. For though some affinity may be traced, yet I confess that there is that manifest difference which distinguishes different writers. There are also other probable conjectures by which we may conclude that it was written by another rather than by Peter. At the same time, according to the consent of all, it has nothing unworthy of Peter, as it shews everywhere the power and the grace of an apostolic spirit. If it be received as canonical, we must allow Peter to be the author, since it has his name inscribed, and he also testifies that he had lived with Christ: and it would have been a fiction unworthy of a minister of Christ, to have personated another individual. So then I conclude, that if the Epistle be deemed worthy of credit, it must have proceeded from Peter; not that he himself wrote it, but that some one of his disciples set forth in writing, by his command, those things which the necessity of the times required.

  • The General Epistles: James, Peter, and Judas
    The General Epistles: James, Peter, and Judas Author(s): Moffat, James, D.D. Publisher: Grand Rapids, MI: Christian Classics Ethereal Library Description: This commentary by James Moffat takes a different form than many. Rather than analzying the text verse-by-verse, Moffat has created more of a "running" commentary. He takes generally three verses at a time, and writes a paragraph of investigaion of the original Greek, cultural notes, ect. Though Moffat©s commentaries and Bible translations are often debated because of his reliance on inaccurate arche- ological sources, his volumes are still worth reading by those concerned with having a diverse set of commentaries.

  • Introduction to the Book of Second Peter
    LETTERS FROM PETER 34. Is “She that is in Babylon” Peter’s wife? 35. Does “Babylon” here mean “Rome” as in Revelation? Give a reason(s) for your answer. 36. What affectionate title does Peter give Mark? 37. Identify Mark in the Book of Acts, (Was he “washed up” when he returned to Jerusalem?) 38. With what were the recipients to greet one another? 39. Upon what group does Peter wish peace? INTRODUCTION TO II PETER T I. THE RECIPIENTS. This letter is addressed “to them that have obtained a like precious faith with us” (1: 1)I More specifically, it was intended for the same people as was I Peter; i.e., “the elect who are so- journers of the Dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia” (I Pet, 1: I),for Peter himself states in 3: 1, “This is now, beloved, the second epistle that I write unto you . ,” 11. PLACE OF WRITING. It is not known, Among places conjectured have been Rome, Egypt, Palestine, and Asia. Perhaps he is still in Babylon (I Pet. 5: 13). 111. TIME OF WRITING. It is generally accepted that second Peter was written toward the end of the first century, and is one of the latest New Testa- ment books. How do we arrive at such a conclusion? a. Peter speaks of his death as near, l:14,150 b. Apparently, most or all of Paul’s epistles had already been written, 3: 15,16. c. Paul’s Epistles had existed long enough to be perverted, 3:16. His letters cover the years between 62 A.D.
