Second Epistle of Peter
Scripture · Epistle · c. 100–125 (attributed) · Greek
The slowest book into the canon: a testament in Peter's name against scoffers who ask 'where is the promise of his coming?' — one day is as a thousand years. Doubted from Origen to Eusebius yet finally received by East and West alike; the attribution is kept here and marked, as the tradition itself marked it.
To: those who have obtained a faith of equal standing
