WBC 50: Jude and 2 Peter

The Word Biblical Commentary delivers the best in biblical scholarship, from
the leading scholars of our day who share a commitment to Scripture as divine
revelation. This series emphasizes a thorough analysis of textual, linguistic,
structural, and theological evidence. The result is judicious and balanced
insight into the meanings of the text in the framework of biblical
theology.'By far the best work on 2 Peter and Jude is the exhaustive
commentary by Richard J. Bauckham. There is no relevant literature up to his
time that Bauckham has not considered, and he here puts to good use his
knowledge of second temple Judaism and some of the more recent Gnostic finds.
Why he concluded that 2 Peter is pseudonymous is still not clear to me: his
evidence does not strike me as very convincing [...]. But this point should not
put anyone off using what will be the standard in the field for decades to
come.' - D.A. CarsonSeries: Word Biblical Commentary, volume
