Westminster Bible Companion: First and Second Peter, and Jude
Overview
Fred B. Craddock examines the letters of First and Second Peter and Jude, asking, what kind of literature is it? who wrote the letter? to whom was the letter written? and for what purpose was the letter written? Craddock's answers let us draw from these often undervalued epistles an awareness of what is involved in living a Christian life in this world. We also see the similarities and differences in how Christ is portrayed in these epistles as opposed to the depiction found in other New Testament writings.

Top Highlights
“The third and final group seem to be the most deeply enmeshed in corrupt and unacceptable behavior. Even so, the instruction is to show mercy, ‘with fear.’ What fear?” (Page 149)
“Church folk live in and by trust and are, therefore, vulnerable.” (Page 135)
“third and final lesson warns against sexual immorality” (Page 139)
“However, the one who pauses long enough to read Jude may find more delight than dread, more familiarity than strangeness. Of course, those of us who have recently read 2 Peter will find ourselves most at home.” (Page 127)
“Jude is asking for passionate engagement in the life of discipleship, to behave as though who God is, who Christ is, and who we are really matter. Something is at stake here.” (Page 137)
