A Study of the Book of Second Peter

By LeRoy H. Carter Jr

The letter of 2 Peter was written in a time when early Christianity was still establishing itself amidst a diverse and often hostile Roman Empire. During this period, Christians faced significant challenges, both socially and politically, which influenced their beliefs and daily lives. Religious beliefs were often a mixture of multiple pagan traditions, philosophies, and local superstitions, making the only true Gospel stand out sharply against the surrounding cultural landscape. Under such circumstances, the early believers relied heavily on their faith and the writings of apostles to preserve their identity and resist assimilation into broader pagan practices. This context helps us understand why Peter's letter emphasizes truth, vigilance, and the importance of holding firmly to the faith passed down from the apostles.
