(The Catholic Christian Community Bible [first English edition 1997, other translations into Indonesian, Chinese, Cebuano, Chavacano, French, Ilonggo, Korean, Quechuan, Spanish, and Tagalog] “for the Christian Communities of the Third World” uses the following introduction.)

This is the latest book in the whole Bible, probably written around the year 100, and it is presented as a second letter by Peter. Its three chapters deal with three concerns in the Church of that time:
– preserving the faith as it was taught by Jesus’ eyewitnesses;
– fighting against “teachers” who distort the faith at the same time as they lead to immorality;
– explaining why Christ had not yet returned.
Down below are the introductions in the Mandarin Chinese, Tagalog, Cebuano, and Spanish editions.
