These commentaries are written with special attention to the needs and interests of theology students, but they will also be useful for students in upper-level college or university settings, as well as for pastors and other church leaders. In addition to providing basic information about the New Testament texts and insights into their meanings, these commentaries exemplify the tasks and procedures of careful, critical exegesis. In this volume of the Abingdon New Testament Commentaries series, Steven J. Kraftchick both studies these two epistles in their late first century context and discusses their relevance to the contemporary Christian church. The author discusses the importance of the insider\/outsider language, the harsh polemical tone of both letters, and their reliance upon the Old Testament and both early Jewish and Greco-Roman thought.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"Because of the numerous similarities between Jude and Second Peter (the latter probably made use of the former), Kraftchick emulates many commentators by treating the two epistles together. In antiquity few writers commented upon Second Peter; the letter is little used in the liturgy. But this does not diminish its importance as providing an insight into aspects of life in the early church. Kraftchick sees Second Peter as possibly originating in the period 90-100 CE (earlier than many commentators). Its pseudonymous authorship and nature as a 'farewell testament' were common enough at the time, enabling the writer to cloak his own arguments in the garments of a revered, authoritative personage of the past. The letter's teaching on the delay of the parousia is among its most striking features; it is the only NT writing to teach that the present world will be destroyed by fire, though such a notion is found in intertestamental Jewish writings and among the Stoics. Kraftchick brings nothing startlingly new to an already well-furrowed exegetical field, but his skill at synthesis and clarity of expression will be appreciated by the students for whom this entire series is intended.\"--Casimir Bernas, Holy Trinity Abbey, in Religious Studies Review, Volume 29 Number 3, July 2003.","brand":"Koorong","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51563509940511,"sku":"9780687057627","price":41.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8981\/8143\/files\/9780687057627_1468822.jpg?v=1769174635"},{"product_id":"jude-2-peter-baker-exegetical-commentary-on-the-new-testament-series-275195","title":"Jude \u0026 2 Peter (Baker Exegetical Commentary On The New Testament Series)","description":"In this new addition to the award-winning BECNT series, respected New Testament scholar and biblical interpretation expert Gene Green offers a substantive yet highly accessible commentary on the books of Jude and 2 Peter.

John Benton urges his readers to regain Jude's vision of contending for the faith, not just at the intellectual level, but at the level of responsible Christian living and practical, loving Christianity for those led astray. In a society where the claim that we can know absolute truth is dismissed as ridiculous and moral standards are disregarded if they interfere with personal enjoyment, the church is under threat in two ways. Tired of swimming against the tide, it can be tempted to throw away its commitment to biblical standards of behaviour and to the uniqueness of Christ as the only Lord and Saviour in the quest for social acceptability. At the same time, in a longing to see God at work in revival and the desire to be seen to be successful, Christians may be open to accept anything that causes a sensation and attracts a crowd, even if it departs from the biblical gospel.

The New Covenant Commentary Series (NCCS) has provided an opportunity for scholars from the non-majority communities in Biblical Studies to engage fully with NT writings without bracketing their diverse backgrounds in the interpretive process. Consequently, in Andrew Mbuvi's interpretation of Jude and 2 Peter, the author seeks to both be faithful in the first century Greco-Roman world setting of the letters while also allowing aspects of his postcolonial, African, and liberation theology interests to inform his hermeneutics. Mbuvi reads the epistles within the context of first century Greco-Roman Associations since the communities of Jude and 2 Peter seem to share significant commonalities with these groups. The Fusing Horizons sections address aspects of concern to the Church, with inclination towards issues that have occupied the church outside of the western world (the Global South), home to the majority of Christians today. Mbuvi's useful analysis shows that Jude's and 2 Peter's message remains as relevant today as when the letters were written.","brand":"Koorong","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51570726469919,"sku":"9781608990139","price":54.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8981\/8143\/files\/9781608990139_1142842.jpg?v=1769354770"},{"product_id":"cuckoos-in-the-nest-apostasy-in-the-church-jude-made-simple-482189","title":"Cuckoos in the Nest...Apostasy in the Church!: Jude Made Simple","description":"A helpful commentary on Jude's Epistles that is right up to date for daily living in our times.","brand":"Koorong","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51573373731103,"sku":"9781872734439","price":26.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8981\/8143\/files\/9781872734439_1319555.jpg?v=1769410627"},{"product_id":"the-letter-of-jude-a-wake-up-call-to-christians-in-the-twenty-first-century-632553","title":"The Letter of Jude: A Wake-Up Call to Christians in the Twenty-First Century","description":"","brand":"Koorong","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51574123954463,"sku":"9781922584083","price":26.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8981\/8143\/files\/9781922584083_1631138.jpg?v=1769420985"},{"product_id":"jude-on-faith-and-the-destructive-influence-of-heresy-messianic-commentary-series-521414","title":"Jude on Faith and the Destructive Influence of Heresy (Messianic Commentary Series)","description":"Almost no other canonical book has been as neglected and overlooked as the Epistle of Jude.
