The Niv Application Commentary : 2 Peter, Jude

---

Peter and Jude, the apostles who wrote these letters, speak against the deceptive messages that other so-called Christians—false prophets—were spreading. They encourage believers to hold fast to the Gospel they were originally given instead of listening to the ungodly, who “by stealth” enter the church and distort God’s grace. These messages, rooted in an underlying belief in the absolute truth of God, take a strong stance against the individualistic, relativistic atmosphere of today’s world. Douglas J. Moo (Ph.D., University of St. Andrew’s, Scotland) focuses on applying the messages of Peter and Jude to modern day life without forgetting what it meant to its first readers in this volume of the NIV Application Commentary.
