In this volume, Robert Harvey and Philip H. Towner delve into Second Peter and Jude, exploring issues of authorship, canonicity, purpose, and themes, ultimately showing how they relate to the life of the church.
The miracle of forgiveness is perhaps equaled only by the wonder of also being trusted again. That wondrous experience in the life of Simon Peter ultimately produced remarkable letters, full of warning and hope, solemn instruction, and glorious promise. Because of that grace in Peter’s past, his words in the book of 2 Peter are able to strengthen his brothers and sisters in faith—namely, us. Jude follows 2 Peter, yet because of its brevity and difficult message, it is one of the most neglected books of Scripture. Still, it too reflects God’s redemptive story and offers important insight for God’s people.
