Study
2 From the Book of 2 Peter is: 2 Peter 1:12-21
1-
Of what does Peter take such care to remind his readers? Does
any Christian not need this kind of reminder? Cf. 3:1, 2; Dt. 32:18; Heb. 2:1.
2-
How do verses 16:21 provide an answer to theologians who claim
that truth does not require a basis of historic fact?
3-
Explain from verses 20, 21 the nature of the inspiration of
Scripture. What gives it its authority, and what should govern its
interpretation.
Note.
Verse 19. ‘The written word of prophecy has been confirmed by the vision of the
Lord’s glory…on the mount of Transfiguration, and Christian may well trust
themselves to its guidance in this dark world, till light has dawned, which
will render the lamp of an external revelation unnecessary’ (Swete). This lamp
of prophecy is referred to again in 3:2.
