2 Peter and Jude: An Introduction and Commentary Volume 18 - Paperback

by E. Michael Green (Author)

The epistle of 2 Peter has had a very rough passage down the centuries," says Michael Green in this commentary. "Its entry into the Canon was precarious in the extreme . . . It was deemed second-class Scripture by Luther, rejected by Erasmus, and regarded with hesitancy by Calvin." And about Jude he says, "We can learn a great deal about a man by listening to what he has to say about himself. Jude makes two significant claims . . . He is a servant of Jesus Christ . . . He is a brother of James" (Jesus' brother). Discover these ideas and much more by reading Green's excellent commentary.The Tyndale New Testament Commentaries have long been a trusted resource for Bible study.
