Partakers of Divine Nature?
Dr. Constantinou presents her overview of 2 Peter. There was a controversy over the book when the Church was determining the canon of the New Testament. We will also explore the importance of the most famous verse in 2 Peter: that we will become "partakers of divine nature." We will recap our discussion of the person of Peter and why he was not the rock on which the church was founded, as well as answer a common Catholic defense against the ancient (i.e., Orthodox) interpretation. If there is time, we will also look at what the Fathers said about Peter's remark that the Lord went to Hades and preached to the dead.
