If this is the first time you have been on this site, you may quickly come to think of it as trying to drink from a fire hose. You can very quickly become overwhelmed by the detail and the general 'depth' of the analyses you will encounter.
As a way of coping with this concern, I would recommend that you begin to orient yourself to the site by focusing your attention on the 'Prefaces' that I've tried to include at the start of each of the sections. These 'Prefaces' are to be short, generally half a page in length, summaries of the content of the pages they are opening for. By just skimming these Prefaces you should get an overall view of what is going on for each of the major sections of the site. These Prefaces will not be complete, but should give you some understanding of the content they introduce.
Begin, obviously, with the Orientation, then skim the Prefaces in the Theory section. This should give you a broad overview of the 2nd Peter Theory and provide you with an initial understanding of the Theory so you can better understand why we are so interested in this Scriptural text. From there I'd recommend you skim the Prefaces in the Exegesis section to get an understanding of just what is going on with this particular Scriptural text. When you are done with this you should be ready to move to the content of the subsections presented in the Exegesis and then the Theory sections. I would recommend you take the major sections and subordinate sections in order. There is an underlying reason for their arrangement in this order.
After you've completed the Exegesis and Theory sections, you should be ready to skim and read the following major sections pretty much at will. However, note: MANY of the following sections are not compete, and will likely take quite a while to be completed. Sorry.
I do wish you good luck. While I truly believe that there is much to be gained from a study of 2 Peter, I know that this will be a major task to undertake. I thank you for your interest.
