Acknowledging the Divine Benefactor

Focusing on the argument of divine benefits, the book presents a sociorhetorical interpretation of the Second Letter of Peter. It emphasizes the necessity for followers of Jesus Christ to live virtuously in response to the gifts they have received, including the promise of sharing in divine nature. Written as Peter approaches death, the letter aims to reinforce his teachings for future remembrance. The author addresses the issue of some believers neglecting the importance of virtuous living while awaiting the fulfillment of Christ's promises.
