Theology of James, Jude, and Peter

Living in the Light of the Coming King.
In this volume, Peter Davids offers a comprehensive study of the General or
Catholic Epistles of James, 1-2 Peter, and Jude, which are often insufficiently
covered in more general New Testament introductions, theologies, and surveys.
Before discussing a theology of each of the four letters, Davids first deals
with their common aspects - their shared background in the Greco-Roman world
and a similar Christology, view of the source of sin, and eschatology - thus
justifying their being treated together.
In the chapters that follow, Davids embarks upon a theological reading of each
letter informed by its social-rhetorical understanding - what they meant in the
context of their original cultural settings - including: a survey of recent
scholarship, a discussion of relevant introductory issues, a thematic
commentary, a treatment of important theological themes, and a discussion of
the place of the letter in the biblical canon and its contribution to New
Testament theology.
