Download or read book A Study of Petrine Christology from Key Texts in 2 Peter written by Kelly Adair Seely and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-10-19 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Second Peter is full of christological language. Scholars have often overlooked the christological richness as they have focused heavily on the issues of eschatology and authorship. The uniqueness of the Son from the Father as well as the divinity of Jesus are at the forefront of the short epistle. Further, Ernst Kasemann famously criticized 2 Peter for being void of Christology and the cross, and thus the gospel. The author analyzes the Christology of 2 Peter, particularly as it relates to the Petrine view of the divinity of Jesus and the distinctness and uniqueness of the Son from the Father. This study examines the christological depth in these key areas as a response to critics like Kasemann. Kasemann first looked into the eschatological arguments of 2 Peter and claimed he was not able to find any christological orientation. The student of 2 Peter must not look through eschatology to see the rich Christology which fills the verses of the epistle. However, when the reader examines the christological language and themes within 2 Peter, he/she is faced with a beautiful portrayal of Jesus and the Father.

Download or read book Peter written by F. Lapham and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book critically examines all the early and important Petrine pseudepigrapha to identify a distinctive Petrine theology which, it is believed, was later swamped by the tide of western orthodoxy. Despite the diversity of the books and tractates, ranging from Jewish-Christian writings to avowedly Gnostic works, a remarkably consistent Petrine tradition does emerge; and Peter is shown essentially to be neither the impetuous, undiscerning, and even vacillating figure portrayed in the Gospels and Acts, nor the magisterial and pontifical figure of later Church tradition, but a visionary who was concerned above all to hold together both the moral and cognitive aspects of the Faith.>

Download or read book The Promise of His Appearing written by Peter J. Leithart and published by Canon Press & Book Service. This book was released on 2004 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book of Second Peter has long troubled biblical scholars and interpreters, who have disputed both its authorship and its claims about the imminent return of Christ. In this study, Peter Leithart offers a preterist reading of the epistle, arguing that it describe first-century events rather than the end of history. At the same time, he maintains orthodoxy, avoiding hyper-preterism and affirming both the real future return of Christ and the epistle's authenticity. Leithart's accessible style and powerful arguments make this book a valuable addition to the discussion surrounding the Bible's apocalyptic prophecies.
Download or read book 1 2 Peter and Jude written by Jonathan K. Dodson and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2017-08-15 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Knowing the Bible series is a resource designed to help Bible readers better understand and apply God’s Word. These 12-week studies lead participants through books of the Bible and are made up of four basic components: (1) reflection questions that help readers engage the text at a deeper level; (2) “Gospel Glimpses” that highlight the gospel of grace throughout the book; (3) “Whole-Bible Connections” that show how any given passage connects to the Bible’s overarching story of redemption, culminating in Christ; and (4) “Theological Soundings” that identify how historic orthodox doctrines are taught or reinforced throughout Scripture. With contributions from an array of influential pastors and church leaders, these gospel-centered studies will help Christians see and cherish the message of God’s grace on every page of the Bible. 1–2 Peter and Jude are letters written to churches experiencing various kinds of trials—false teachers, distorted views of the gospel, and harsh persecution. If 1 Peter exults, “Jesus will return!” and 2 Peter rebuffs the claim, “Jesus won’t return,” then Jude exhorts, “Jesus is just about here!” Together, these letters form a kind of manifesto of hope for living faithfully no matter how dark the times. This study highlights the importance of holding fast to the true gospel, living distinct, holy lives, and looking ahead to the return of Christ. Part of the Knowing the Bible series.

Download or read book Knowledge of Our Lord Jesus Christ written by William F. Cleary and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The area most neglected in modern investigation of 2 Peter is perhaps what would appear the most obvious: the relationship of 2 Peter with 1 Peter. Despite the fact that these two letters share a common attribution to the apostle Peter and that 2 Peter most probably refers explicitly to 1 Peter (2 Pet 3:1), several modern commentators do not regard these texts as substantially related. The relationship between 1 and 2 Peter, suggested by the letters' traditional titles and canonical transmission, represents a way forward in the study of 2 Peter and the Catholic Epistles in general. In order to study the bond between the Petrine letters more closely, I undertake an audience-oriented exegesis of the prooemium of 2 Peter (1:3-11). This reading concentrates on the reaction of the implied ("ideal") audience to the opening section of 2 Peter. I have read 2 Pet 1:3-11 closely with an ear to the echoes of 1 Peter in the words and concepts of the text, such as the implied audience with knowledge of 1 Peter would notice. The structure and vocabulary of 2 Peter's salutation resemble the structure and vocabulary of 1 Peter's salutation (1:1-2). Second Peter 1:3-4 echoes much of 1 Peter's teaching on Christ and develops 1 Peter's teaching on the appropriation of life through knowledge of Christ. The sequence of virtues in the catalogue (2 Pet 1:5-7) echoes 1 Peter's exhortation and portrait of Christ. The use of the terms "firm," "call," and "election" in 2 Pet 1:10 echoes the language of construction and Christian identity in 1 Peter (2:4-9). My exegesis highlights words and themes that demonstrate a substantial connection between 1 and 2 Peter, best explained by a deliberate use of 1 Peter by 2 Peter. Second Peter summarizes 1 Peter's teaching about Christ and the Christian identity in a brief fashion, in service of its overarching goal: defense of the faith against those who would vitiate the truth about Christ by their false teaching (2 Peter 2-3). Second Peter 1:3-11 draws on 1 Peter for material in the development of its defining theme: the knowledge of Jesus Christ.

Download or read book First and Second Peter Paideia Commentaries on the New Testament written by Duane F. Watson and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2012-08-01 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this addition to the well-received Paideia series, New Testament scholars Duane Watson and Terrance Callan examine cultural context and theological meaning in First and Second Peter. Paideia commentaries explore how New Testament texts form Christian readers by • attending to the ancient narrative and rhetorical strategies the text employs • showing how the text shapes theological convictions and moral habits • commenting on the final, canonical form of each New Testament book • focusing on the cultural, literary, and theological settings of the text • making judicious use of maps, photos, and sidebars in a reader-friendly format This commentary, like each in the projected eighteen-volume series, proceeds by sense units rather than word-by-word or verse-by-verse. Students, pastors, and other readers will appreciate the historical, literary, and theological insight Watson and Callan offer in interpreting First and Second Peter.
