The God Who Judges and Saves: A Theology of 2 Peter and Jude - Paperback

by Matthew S. Harmon (Author), Thomas R. Schreiner (Editor), Brian S. Rosner (Editor)

An Introduction to the Theology of 2 Peter and Jude from Matthew S. Harmon

Even though Peter and Jude wrote their canonical letters almost 2,000 years ago, the church today still faces similar challenges as their original readers. What do these short, overlooked books have to teach Christians today about God, humanity, and God's redemptive plan?

In this addition to the New Testament Theology series, Matthew S. Harmon examines the unique themes of 2 Peter and Jude as well as their common ground, addressing topics such as false teaching, God's authority, and the new heavens and the new earth. Analyzing the historical and biblical context of both books, Harmon helps readers understand how these key themes apply to them today--giving Christians comfort and motivation in the face of serious challenges and opposition to the gospel.
