Pillar New Testament Commentary: The Letters of 2 Peter and Jude

Author: Peter H. Davids

Filling a notable gap in scholarship on 2 Peter and Jude, Peter Davids artfully unpacks these two neglected but fascinating epistles that deal with the confrontation between the Greco-Roman world and the burgeoning first-century Jesus communities. Davids firmly grasps the overall structure of these oft-maligned epistles and presents a strong case for 2 Peter and Jude as coherent, consistent documents. Marked by exceptional exegesis and sharp, independent judgments, Davids’ work both connects with the latest scholarship and transforms scholarly insights into helpful conclusions benefiting Christian believers.

Sheffield New Testament Guides: 2 Peter and Jude

Author: Jonathan Knight

Dr. Knight covers both of these letters because he believes there is a close association between them. He suggests that the author of 2 Peter, in fact, makes use of Jude to frame his response to the false teachers 2 Peter 3:1. Knight begins, therefore, with a detailed explanation of the content in Jude before embarking on 2 Peter. The guide concludes with a look at the influence of these two letters on early Christianity, especially with regard to eschatological hope. This is why 2 Peter confronts early Christian skepticism about the imminent return of Jesus.
