Review: 2 Peter & The Canon: Apostolic Authorship

5/20/2022

0 Comments

 
Picture
This is a review of Friedrich Bleek's New Testament Introduction. Rather than discuss the entirety, I have focused only on 2 Peter and given some thoughts to this allegorical approach that has been popular in yester-year, but is reemerging in some other circles recently, albeit, non-academic. The big idea is this: when you start tinkering with apostolic authorship, you start messing with a case for a canon and the authority of scripture itself.

Bleek, Friedrich. An Introduction to the New Testament. Translated by A.J.K. Davidson. 2 vols. Edinburgh: T. & T. Clark, 1869-1870.

"I read many non-fiction books, and at times I forget how much non-fiction is “heavy lifting.” Authors are not always clear, their applications are not always pointed, and the utility is often lacking. But this book was none of those things, which make is a surprisingly easy, and immensely helpful book."

​"Thankfully, Grudem addresses it since other Christian Ethic’s books do not even conceive of the notion that people would be wrestling with this subject. In fact, these sections display Grudem’s pastoral heart even in the midst of his very logical flow of thought."
