Petrine authorship

Hi ADM, i notice you recently created the page on the authorship of the Petrine epistles. What has led up to this? I'm currently writing a paper on 2 Peter and Jude and will probably add a few references after my paper is complete. paulgear (talk) 06:38, 7 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't write the article myself actually, I just assembled some relevant information that was found in two separate entries, first Epistle of Peter, and second Epistle of Peter. I think it makes sense to distinguish the question of authorship from the general topic of scriptural analysis.

Regarding petrine authorship, while I think it is quite likely that someone like Silvanus wrote the epistle (and/or second) on behalf of Peter, I don't believe that this removes the fact that the epistles are petrine in character. I'll explain a bit : most modern encyclicals on behalf of the Pope are written by ghostwriters like Silvanus. Caritas in Veritate, Mystici Corporis Christi and Pascendi Dominici Gregis are signed by the Pope, but most of these texts were actually written by his curial assistants and theologians. But that's just how the Church writes its own documents.

Is this the right way to reply? I find the wiki format rather confusing for personal correspondence back & forward. Anyway, i agree with you on the amanuensis issue. It is interesting that J. A. T. Robinson is almost indistinguishable from John Calvin and most modern Evangelicals on this issue. paulgear (talk) 07:13, 7 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

An alternative way of replying is to send e-mail through the system. Most people on Wikipedia like to reply on their talk pages though because it is often quicker than verifying electronic messages back and forth. ADM (talk) 07:16, 7 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
