BECNT: Jude and 2 Peter

In this addition to the BECNT, respected New Testament scholar and teacher Gene
Green offers a substantive yet highly accessible commentary on the books of
Jude and 2 Peter. With extensive research and thoughtful chapter-by-chapter
exegesis, Green leads readers through the sociological, historical, and
theological aspects of these New Testament books.

As with all BECNT volumes, Jude and 2 Peter features the author's
detailed interaction with the Greek text. This commentary admirably achieves
the dual aims of the series - academic sophistication and pastoral sensitivity
and accessibility - making it a useful tool for professors, students, pastors,
and church leaders. The user-friendly design includes shaded chapter
introductions summarizing the key themes of each thought unit and concluding
text-critical notes.

This commentary is full of careful historical exegesis that is especially " well informed by the literature, philosophy, and rhetoric of the Greco-Roman
world. It is an ideal companion to a detailed study of these still undervalued
New Testament books. - Richard Bauckham"

Gene Green has written a solidly conservative evangelical commentary on " Jude and 2 Peter that is informed by ancient rhetorical practice and
sociological observation. It contains a wealth of exegetical detail and
judicious observations [...]. - Peter H. Davids"

This solid commentary interprets the letters of Jude and 2 Peter in their " original historical contexts by engaging relevant contemporary Greco-Roman
sources while employing the best practices of current New Testament
scholarship. Green ably demonstrates how understanding the sociocultural world
of the first century deepens our knowledge of the biblical message. I heartily
commend this commentary to those who are interested in an in-depth study of
Jude and 2 Peter by a seasoned evangelical scholar. - Karen H. Jobes"
