Reading Second Peter with New Eyes

The letters of James 1 and 2 Peter and Jude are among the most neglected letters of the NT. Thus methodological advances in NT study tend to arise among the Gospels or Pauline letters. But these letters are beginning to receive increased attention in the scholarly community. <br/><br/><i>Reading Second Peter With New Eyes </i>is the third of four volumes that incorporate research in this area. The essays collected here examine the impact of recent methodological developments in New Testament studies to Second Peter including for example rhetorical social-scientific socio-rhetorical ideological and hermeneutical methods as they contribute to understanding this letter and its social context.
