2 Peter and the Apocalypse of Peter : Towards a New Perspective

About this book

In the 2016 Radboud Prestige Lectures, published in this volume, Jörg Frey develops a new perspective on 2 Peter by arguing that the letter is dependent on the Apocalypse of Peter. Frey argues that reading 2 Peter against the backdrop of the Apocalypse of Peter sheds new light on many longstanding interpretative questions and offers fresh insights into the history of second-century Christianity. Frey's lectures are followed by resonses from leading scholars in the field, who discuss Frey's proposal in ways both critical and constructive. --Back cover.
