Too small to be important, too different to be trusted. The New
Testament's Catholic letters have suffered neglect when compared to
the attention lavished upon Jesus, the Gospels, and Paul. Jude and
2 Peter, especially, have been ignored. JArg Frey remedies this
dearth with this full-scale commentary on Jude and 2 Peter. Frey's
meticulous, sustained verse-by-verse interpretation highlights the
theological achievements of the two canonical writings without
sidestepping any of the open historical and literary questions
plaguing these two pseudepigraphal letters. The Letter of Jude and
the Second Letter of Peter investigates the historical location of
the two writings, the literary context, the shape of their
arguments, and the profile of the respective opponents that are the
central concern of each epistle. The analysis also explores Jude
and 2 Peter's use of biblical, Second Temple Jewish, and
apocalyptic traditions, the long-recognized interrelation between
the two letters, and the difficult text-critical issues that haunt
both. Frey's careful interpretation points to the theological work
each letter performs. Jude takes part in a critical debate within
the Pauline and post-Pauline communities, while 2 Peter becomes a
testimony to the theological discussions of the second century. Far
from insignificant or irrelevant, the epistles provide invaluable
insight into the growth and consolidation of early Christian
tradition. With this groundbreaking commentary, Frey rightly draws
our attention back to these texts' important role within the canon
and early Christianity.
