2 Peter | Forgery. Not even a very good forgery. One translator writes of the Second Letter of Peter, "It refers to the apostles as 'our ancestors' as if they were dead and buried." So it is clearly not by Peter, but uses his name so that the apostle is seen as endorsing its anti-herasy message. Widely seen as fake and took a long time to become an established part of the canon of the New Testament. [1,p.151] |
