At the beginning of the 20th century, F.H. Chase called for a study “that would have for its primary object the examination in detail of the relation […] of 2 Peter to early Christian literature, and especially to the pseudepigraphical and apocryphal documents” as a precondition for identifying the historical context of 2 Peter. Acting on this suggestion, Wolfgang Grunstaudl analyzes the relationship of 2 Peter to other Petrine pseudepigrapha and investigates the use of this epistle by early Christian writers. As a result, 2 Peter is described as an Alexandrian text, probably written in the second half of the second century. Moreover, Grunstaudl argues that 2 Peter uses the Greek-Ethiopic Apocalypse of Peter and is to be read in the wider context of Clement of Alexandrias theology. German text.
2 Petr, dessen Existenz erst von Origenes zweifelsfrei bezeugt wird, gilt aufgrund seines scheinbar kaum naher bestimmbaren historischen Kontextes in der neutestamentlichen Exegese als “text without a home” (Michael Gilmour). Durch die intensive Analyse der Beziehungen des 2 Petr zu anderen petrinischen Pseudepigraphen des fruhen Christentums und die umfassende Uberprufung (moglicher) fruher Spuren einer Rezeption dieses Briefes gelangt Wolfgang Grunstaudl zu der These, 2 Petr sei als Text des alexandrinischen Christentums in der zweiten Halfte des zweiten Jahrhunderts entstanden. Fur die weitere exegetische Arbeit am 2 Petr sind dabei vor allem die Nachweise einer literarischen Abhangigkeit des 2 Petr von der griechisch-athiopischen Petrusapokalypse und der theologischen Nahe zum Umfeld des Clemens von Alexandrien von besonderer Bedeutung.

"This well-documented and clearly written dissertation defends a rather bold position regarding the historical and theological home of the 2 Peter." --Rob van Houwelingen, Review of Biblical Literature, 7.9.2015
