2 Peter : Christian Community Bible

Introduction to 2 Peter

These three chapters deal with three concerns in the Church of that time:

1. preserving the faith as it was taught by Jesus’ eyewitnesses;
2. fighting against “teachers” who distort the faith at the same time as they lead to immorality;
3. explaining why Christ had not yet returned.
