“Peter is one of the most important figures in early Christianity, yet few know him as more than a bumbling disciple. In Petrine Theology, Kennard shows how deficient this view is by deftly exploring the rich theological contribution Peter makes to New Testament theology. Too easily ignored, Kennard helps us appreciate Peter’s unique voice, which sometimes sings the melody and other times harmony with the rest of the NT.”
—Ben C. Blackwell, Houston Theological Seminary
“Kennard, with full knowledge of the critical history, difficulty, and other issues in Petrine literature, has produced a scholarly, well-documented, and creative synthesis of the main theological themes in the two Petrine letters. It is thoughtful and as comprehensive as one can get with such disputed letters. I recommend this as a helpful dialogue partner as one reads and tries to decipher the letters’ text itself.”
—Peter Davids, chaplain, Our Lady of Guadalupe Priory
