Document Details : Title: Use of the Letter of Jude by the Second Letter of Peter Author(s): CALLAN, Terrance Journal: Biblica Volume: 85 Issue: 1 Date: 2004 Pages: 42-64 DOI: 10.2143/BIB.85.1.3194402 Abstract : Assuming that 2 Pet 2,1-3,3 is dependent on Jude 4-18, this essay describes in detail the way the author of 2 Peter has used Jude’s material. It is clear that the author of 2 Peter has not simply incorporated Jude, as is sometimes asserted. Rather, 2 Peter has thoroughly reworked Jude to serve its own purposes. 2 Pet 2,1-3,3 is best described as a free paraphrase of Jude 4-18. The relationship between the two texts is similar to the relationship between 1 Clem 36.2-5 and Heb 1,3-13. |
