The Letter of Jude and the Second Letter of Peter

In his commentary, Frey comprehensively demonstrates the particular contributions of Jude and the Second Letter of Peter to the discourses in early Christianity, and he offers new solutions to theological questions still open and under discussion. It is a milestone of scholarship.

~Jens Herzer, Professor of New Testament, University of Leipzig

A timely, powerful new reading of 2 Peter and Jude. It cannot be emphasized enough how important Frey’s commentary is for rehabilitating the study and preaching of the Catholic Epistles.

~Rob Wall, Paul T. Walls Professor of Scripture and Wesleyan Studies, Seattle Pacific University and Seminary

Frey’s commentary is a remarkable work of analysis and writing. It is at once the most thorough treatment of every aspect of these two letters and, at the same time, a source of fresh thinking. This is a significant commentary, and it will be a standard for those interested in Jude and 2 Peter.

~Steven Kraftchick, Professor of the Practice of New Testament Interpretation, Emory University

Jörg Frey is asking all the right questions and exploring all plausible solutions in his commentary on Jude and 2 Peter. He offers fresh examinations of old interpretative conundrums dogging any critical study of Jude and 2 Peter. This commentary is a necessary read for all serious students of the letters of Jude and 2 Peter, in particular, and the Catholic Letters and Petrine tradition, in general.

~Shively T. J. Smith, Assistant Professor of New Testament, Boston University

The detailed analysis of these texts and Frey’s thoughtful theological reflection upon them will surely make this commentary a marker for all subsequent treatments of these two previously neglected parts of the New Testament writings.

~The Bible Today

…one will always find food for thought and an erudite exposition of these letters from what is obviously a critical perspective. As such, this will likely become a standard commentary from a critical perspective for years to come...
