Digital Logos Edition
The letters of James, 1 and 2 Peter, and Jude are among the most neglected letters of the NT. Thus, methodological advances in NT study tend to arise among the Gospels or Pauline letters. But these letters are beginning to receive increased attention in the scholarly community.
Reading Second Peter with New Eyes is the third of four volumes that incorporate research in this area. This volume includes analysis of rhetorical, social-scientific, socio-rhetorical, ideological, and hermeneutical methods, as they contribute to understanding First Peter and its social context. Each essay has a similar three-fold structure, ideal for use by students: 1) a description of the methodological approach; 2) the application of the methodological approach to First Peter; and 3) a conclusion identifying how the methodological approach contributes to a fresh understanding of the letter.
In the Logos edition, this volume is enhanced by amazing functionality. Important terms link to dictionaries, encyclopedias, and a wealth of other resources in your digital library.
