OverView: The Fathers all recognized that
there are great differences between the first
and second letters attributed to Peter, but
they explained these variations in different
ways. Some of them rejected the authenticity
of the second letter and refused to accept it
as part of the canon, but the majority were
unwilling to go that far. They recognized
that although there were differences between
the two letters, they were not as great as the
differences between the letters, on the one
hand, and other writings attributed to Peter
that were known to be spurious, on the
other. Perhaps the strongest argument in
favor of this letters authenticity was its
remarkably personal style. In his opening
salutation Peter reverts to his original name,
Simon, in order to show those who preferred
to forget his Jewish origins that he had not
rejected them (Hilaryof Arles). Whether
Gent des or Jews, all who are baptized share
a faith of equal Standing (Andreas, Oecu-
mf.niüs). Peter prays for the peace of the
church, which comes from knowing God
(Oecumenius). Peace is the mother of all
good things and the foundation of our joy
(Chrysostom).
