This book studies comparisons and possible trajectories between
three 'catholic' epistles, and traditions associated with Jesus.
Part A analyzes why James would recall the teachings of Jesus, how
he alters these teachings, and what such adaptation suggests about
his audience. Part B turns to the Jesus tradition and 1 and 2
Peter. What can 1 Peter's use of Isaiah 53 tell us about the
historical Jesus? How has 1 Peter conflated early Jesus traditions
with those of ancient Judaism in order to develop certain ideas?
How does 2 Peter allude to Gospel traditions? Moreover, how does
the author of 2 Peter use early Jesus traditions as a sort of
testimony? The book is an important contribution to scholarship on
source criticism, ancient rhetoric, and the influence of
Hellenistic, Judean and Roman traditions on early Christianity.
