| | First Epistle of Peter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Peter's own amanuensis was the evangelist Mark, according to Clement of Alexandria and other early Christian writers. | | | One theory is that it was written by the Silvanus who is mentioned towards the end of the epistle: "By Silvanus, our faithful brother, as I account him, I have written unto you briefly" (5:12). | | | This would have been a curious omission if 1 Peter were available, for 1 Peter, the First Epistle of Clement and the Shepherd of Hermas are the three writings that most clearly place the bishops of Rome in the position of instructing the other churches. |

| | Second Epistle of Peter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The Second Epistle of Peter is a book of the New Testament of the Bible. | | | Those who argue for an earlier date for 2 Peter usually support this claim with the lack of references to the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem and for elements involving the "false teachers/prophets" that are regarded as more exemplary of earlier deviations than the Gnosticism of the mid-2nd century. | | | The opening verse identifies itself as having been written by Simeon Peter, who has been identified with Saint Peter, although nowhere else in the New Testament is he referred to as both Simeon (the Aramaic form of Simon) and Peter. |

| | Second Epistle of Peter - Theopedia |
| | The second epistle of Peter was written to warn Christians about false teachers and to exhort them to grow in their faith in and knowledge of Christ. | | | The second epistle of Peter is generally attributed to the apostle Peter as the letter opens with salutation "Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ," however there are some questions concerning the authenticity of this claim. | | | The letter claims to be written by Peter. |

| | Peter, The Second Epistle Of (International Standard Bible Encyclopedia) :: Bible Tools |
| | What Peter and his fellow-disciples taught was the very truth of God, for at the Transfiguration they saw the outshining glory of the Son of God, they heard the Divine Voice, they beheld the two visitants from the unseen world, Moses and Elijah. | | | Peter's second world is "the heavens that now are, and the earth" (2 Peter 3:7). | | | Peter and his fellow-believers did not follow "cunningly devised fables"; they were borne along in their prophetic utterances by the Spirit. |

| | An Introduction to the New Testament |
| | The epistle claims to be a second epistle (3:1) written by Simon Peter ‘a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ’ (1:1) and an eyewitness of his majesty at the Transfiguration (1:16-18). | | | It is hard to avoid the conclusion that this epistle is yet another of a series of works which appeared in the second century falsely claiming the authority of the prince of apostles, of which we possess fragments of a Gospel of Peter, of an Acts of Peter, and of an Apocalypse of Peter. | | | A large part of the epistle is taken up with the denunciation of false teachers, and it is perhaps significant for the date of the epistle that the author in the role of Peter first proclaims that they will arise (2:10 ff.). |

| | The Authenticity of the Second Epistle of Peter |
| | Origen: But Peter, upon whom the church of Christ is built, against which the gates of hell shall not prevail, has left one epistle undisputed. | | | Since 2 Peter is considered the last book written and also the last accepted, it should not be included according to this argument. | | | Suppose, also, the second one was left by him, for on this there is some doubt. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Epistles of Saint Peter |
| | In the body of the Epistle (i, 16-iii, 13) the author brings forward the dogma of the second coming of Christ, which he proves, recalling His glorious transfiguration and the prediction of the Prophets (i, 16-21). | | | The Apostle Peter wrote to the Christians of Asia to confirm them in the Faith, to console them amid their tribulations, and to indicate to them the line of conduct to follow in suffering (v, 2). | | | Objections: (a) The relation between the First Epistle of Peter and the Epistles of Paul, especially Romans and Ephesians, does not prove, as has been claimed (Jülicher), that the Epistle was written by a disciple of Paul. |

| | The Second General Epistle of Peter, New Testament Introduction - Louis Berkhof |
| | Like the first Epistle this second one is also a letter of practical warning, exhortation and encouragement. | | | And while in the first Epistle there is a free interchange of prepositions, we often find a repetition of the same preposition in the second, f. | | | In the opening verse the writer calls himself, "Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ," which clearly excludes the idea of Grotius, that Symeon, the successor of James at Jerusalem, wrote the letter. |

| | The Epistle of Jude and the Second Epistle of Peter |
| | In any case the writer of II Peter possessed a considerable Christian library—the Four Gospels, Paul's letters, Hebrews, Jude, I Peter, and perhaps Barnabas—and wrote at a time when Paul's letters and the gospels were already being regarded as Scripture. | | | The reflections of Hebrews in II Peter would not weigh against this: the West knew Hebrews well enough, from I Clement on—Tertullian even mentions it by name—but western Christianity did not, until two centuries after it was written, recognize it as Scripture. | | | The Docetists are first reflected and opposed in the Gospel and Letters of John and the Letters of Ignatius (107-17) and represented by the Gospel of Peter, ca. |

| | The Second Epistle Of Peter: Introduction |
| | However, by the fourth century 2 Peter was accepted by the church and councils everywhere and was never anywhere rejected as spurious. | | | In ratio to its size 2 Peter speaks more relevantly to the modern issues of sexual permissiveness, tolerance for pluralistic doctrines, the nature of authority, and the basis for Christian hope than any other letter of the New Testament. | | | That would mean that 1 Peter is not the letter referred to in 2 Peter 3:1. |

| | New Testament Canon From the Bible DaVinci Code |
| | Since the Bible, in 1 Peter 1:25, teaches, "But the word of the LORD endures forever", it would not seem to be biblically correct to believe that portions of it were lost for centuries. | | | Already in the second century, in the earliest writings of the "Church Fathers," we see that the New Testament canon existed, and was quoted from and referenced frequently. | | | 2 Peter 1:20-21 tells us "knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit", thus the Bible teaches that God gave scripture to humans. |
