The Letters of 2 Peter and Jude [PNTC] fill a notable gap in scholarship on these often overlooked New testament books. Davids artfully presents a strong case for these epistles as coherent, consistent documents. Marked by exceptional exegesis, sharp judgments, rhetoric, narrative analysis, and timely application, this work connects with the latest scholarship and transforms scholarly insights into helpful conclusions to benefit all believers.

Clinton E. Arnold
-Talbot School of Theology, Biola University
In this well-written and informative commentary on 2 Peter and Jude, Peter Davids helps us read these two fascinating letters in light of their Jewish background. He uses his exegetical skill and knowledge of Judaism to provide satisfying explanations of ‘slandering celestial beings’ and the many other difficult-to-understand passages. This outstanding commentary is clearly a ‘top pick’ on these two letters.

Jerome Neyrey
-University of Notre Dame
A reliable and literate work--knowledgeable without being cluttered, informed without being pedantic. As a traditional commentary, it argues introductory matters well, relies on epistolary and rhetorical insights for structural guides, and is very well informed on Israelite and Greco-Roman background.... Balances the big canvas with smaller cameo scenes....Should be considered the best of a new wave of commentaries on Jude and 2 Peter.

Seyoon Kim
-Fuller Theological Seminary
This is an exemplary commentary, marked by the author’s mature scholarship, keen theological insights, and deep pastoral concerns. His thorough exegesis, conducted with a singular combination of rhetorical and narrative analysis as well as other usual critical methods, has produced a most reliable exposition of these neglected epistles.

Ralph P. Martin
-Azusa Pacific University
A careful and painstaking treatment of the least well known of the General Epistles...The reader’s curiosity is both stimulated and satisfied by this commentary. It will fill a niche in today’s market and be a welcome addition to the libraries of both scholars and pastors. I commend it with enthusiasm.
