J. Smith reconsiders what is most distinct, troubling, and potentially thrilling about the often overlooked and dismissed book of 2 Peter. Using the rhetorical strategies of nineteenth-century African American women, including Ida B. Wells, Jarena Lee, Anna Julia Cooper, and others, Smith redefines the use of biblical citations, the language of justice and righteousness, and even the matter of pseudonymity in 2 Peter. She approaches 2 Peter as an instance of Christian cultural rhetoric that forges a particular kind of community identity and behavior. This pioneering study considers how 2 Peter cultivates the kind of human relations and attitudes that speak to the values of moral people seeking justice in the past as well as today.--$cPublisher, page four of cover. 410 0$aEarly Christianity and Its Literature Series 517 3 $aInterpreting Two Peter through African American women's moral writings 606 $aAfrican American women$xReligious life$y19th century 615 0$aAfrican American women$xReligious life 676 $a220.6 700 $aSmith$b Shively T.
