Was Homer's 'Odyssey' really written by Homer? Were Shakespeare's sonnets really written by Shakespeare? Was 2 Peter really written by Peter? These authorship questions have been asked by several over the years, with the last answer being critical. Even as we answer the human authorship question concerning 2 Peter (Peter!), we haven't addressed the most crucial question. Who else wrote 2 Peter (and all the Scriptures)? God! The Scriptures are God's lamp to His people until the return of Christ.
