{"product_id":"9781850756866","title":"Virtue amidst Vice : The Catalog of Virtues in 2 Peter 1 (The Library of New Testament Studies)","description":"\u003cp\u003eVirtue amidst Vice represents an attempt to probe a relatively obscure portion of a relatively obscure New Testament document. 2 Peter reflects a social setting that presents a most daunting pastoral challenge. The danger confronting the Christian community is a lapse in ethical standards and a return-whether by mere forgetfulness or in wholesale apostasy-to the former way of life. 2 Peter's prophetic and paraenetic response borrows from the moral grammar of contemporary moral philosophers in exhorting the readers to recall-and validate through virtuous living-the faith they have received. The theme of the moral life runs throughout 2 Peter, with the various components of the author's literary arsenal subordinated to this thematic development. It is the function of the catalogue of virtues (1.5-7) both to introduce and to anchor the author's call to repel moral scepticism and reinvigorate the moral life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sheffield Academic Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48762117652715,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":402.86,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9781850756866-1.jpg?v=1781708960","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/ja\/products\/9781850756866","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
