2 Peter is also pseudonymous. According to the Anchor Bible - TopicsExpress



          

2 Peter is also pseudonymous. According to the Anchor Bible Dictionary: The strong consensus among scholars is that 2 Peter is also pseudonymous and may well be the last NT book to be composed, perhaps in the first decades of the 2nd century. According to James D. G. Dunn, If any document in the NT is pseudonymous it is this one. Its language and style is so very different from that of I Peter. It is clearly postPauline and reflects an anxiety over the delay of the parousia which would be unlikely were Peter himself still alive. And its difficulty in gaining acceptance into the canon points firmly to the same conclusion.
