2 Peter:Introduction

2 Peter


This is the latest book in the whole Bible, probably written around the year 100, and it is presented as a second letter by Peter. Its three chapters deal with three concerns in the Church of that time:


– preserving the faith as it was taught by Jesus’ eyewitnesses;


– fighting against “teachers” who distort the faith at the same time as they lead to im morality;


– explaining why Christ had not yet returned.
