In this week’s episode, Ben and John tackle the puzzles of Second Peter. First up, they ponder whether Peter himself could actually be the scribe behind his supposed second epistle. Spoiler: they’re not convinced—a fisherman with a penchant for literary flair?
And then there’s the whole issue of Peter’s apparent plagiarism of Jude. Did he run out of original ideas, or is this just celestial copy-pasting?
Plus, the duo dives into Peter’s casual name-dropping of Enoch. If Peter quotes him, does that make Enoch’s words scripture by association, or is this just ancient fan fiction?
Lastly, they dissect the notion that Second Peter might just be a smokescreen for a botched prophecy. Tune in for a dose of dubious authorship debates and questionable biblical claims.
