Reseña del editor:

The letters of 2 Peter and Jude are sometimes overlooked, yet their message for today's church is timely and compelling. Today, as in the first century, Christians must guard against false guides who lead young believers astray and cause divisions within the community of faith. Responding to this ever-present danger, 2 Peter and Jude equip readers to discern truth from illusion and exhort them to loyalty, harmony and spiritual maturity.In this volume of the Bible Speaks Today series, Dick Lucas and Christopher Green offer passage-by-passage exposition of the letters of 2 Peter and Jude. They include introductory information on authorship, original audience, major themes and recent issues of scholarship, while focusing on the relevance of these two letters to contemporary Christian experience.

Contraportada:

Second Peter and Jude are among the most neglected books of the New Testament. But alert readers have long noted an unmistakable family resemblance between these two letters. Like orphans reunited, in this commentary 2 Peter and Jude show themselves to be robust theological siblings, charged with a keen, no-nonsense desire to warm young believers of the false spiritual guides that are out to beguile them. This commentary is a skillful exposition of these two letters within their original setting. More than that, it narrows the gap between our day and that day, between our cultural and spiritual setting and that setting, and allows the Spirit-driven message to arc between then and now. Wherever Christians face or anticipate the destabilizing and destructive influence of misled teachers and subverters of truth, these letters will speak today.
