KW - Bible KW - Peter, 2nd KW - Commentaries KW - Jude N1 - 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's work both connects with the latest scholarship and transforms scholarly insights into helpful conclusions benefiting Christian believers; Includes bibliographical references (page xxi-xxxii) and indexes UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip0612/2006012780.html ER -
