    2 Peter and Jude

    The IVP New Testament Commentary Series

    by Robert Harvey and Philip H. Towner

    2 Peter and Jude

    An Introduction and Commentary

    Tyndale New Testament Commentaries

    by E. Michael Green

    "The epistle of 2 Peter has had a very rough passage down the centuries," says Michael Green in this commentary. "Its entry into the Canon was precarious in the extreme . . .

    Knowing Jesus Through the Old Testament

    Knowing God Through the Old Testament Set

    by Christopher J. H. Wright

    We cannot know Jesus without knowing his story. Today the debate over who Jesus is rages on. Has the Bible bound Christians to a narrow and mistaken notion of Jesus?
