Interesting NT Introductions
A friend has passed on the advice that there are interesting introductions to some of the NT books by Daniel Wallace on www.earlychristianwritings.com (this link is permanently in our "resources" list over on the left of screen).
He says to look in particular at 1Pe 2Pe Jude and John's gospel and the relationship between them. Click on the book then find DW intros under online resources. Enjoy!
(Here's an appetite-whetter from 1Pe:
Certainly one of the nagging doubts that all of Paul's converts would have would be the genuineness of their faith. Paul, after all, was not one of the original Twelve. After he died, this doubt would increase, and it is quite probable that false teachers would exploit it. But if a letter from Peter—the very man Paul had rebuked at Antioch, and had written the Galatians about—confirmed their faith and told them not to give up, this would indeed be great encouragement. Peter would tacitly be affirming both Paul's doctrine and the Gentile mission. He would be saying, in effect, "Paul was a true apostle and you are true children of God. Don’t give up the boat.")
