1 & 2 Peter, Jude
Overview
The Smyth & Helwys Bible Commentary series is built upon the idea that meaningful Bible study can occur when the insights of contemporary biblical scholars are applied with pastoral sensitivity. Using a multimedia format, the volumes employ a stunning array of art, maps, and drawings to illustrate the insights of the Bible. This commentary is filled with expert analysis by a trio of scholars that examine and expound upon the letters of Peter and the book of Jude. Their findings are analyzed and presented in an accessible format. Together, this plurality of voices relate a unified interpretation to benefit Christians in a variety of settings.

“The church of 2 Peter was divided over issues of ethics and doctrine. It appears that they all confessed that Jesus was the Christ, but they had different interpretations about what that meant. That sounds a lot like the twenty-first-century church!” (Page 324)
“The ‘little’ could modify the participle, meaning that you have suffered only a little bit, but most think the author is making a contrast of the glorious future eternity and the therefore relatively brief present time that includes suffering.” (Page 242)
“establish. Themelioō means to lay the foundation of a house, or to secure something by fixing it firmly in place.19” (Page 242)
“• restore. Katartizō means to put something back in order, such as torn fishing nets (Matt 4:21).” (Page 242)
