2 Peter and Jude Introduction

2 PeterSteve Gregg
In this introduction to 2 Peter and Jude, Steve Gregg indicates that it is not surprising for the Holy Spirit to inspire Peter and Jude to say similar things. While the authorship of these books is questioned as pseudepigraphal works, their inclusion in the New Testament is due to their apostolic authority. Gregg highlights that common material may have been used, and the writers allude to the writings because they are powerful, cogent, and relevant to the message they want to convey.
