Survey The River
Build the lens first: who wrote the book, when it was written, who heard it first, and why it exists.
Question 1
Who wrote it, to whom, and what problem are they fixing?
Question 2
What is the argument's logic — what claim, what reason, what therefore?
Question 3
What does this letter call this church (and me) to do?
2 Peter, also known as the Second Epistle of Peter and abbreviated as 2 Pet., is an epistle of the New Testament written in Koine Greek. It identifies the author as "Simon Peter (in some translations, 'Simeon' or 'Shimon'), a bondservant and apostle of Jesus Christ" (2 Peter 1:1).
