To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But the similarity of both narratives con- sists only in this : that a poor woman in both instances offers "two" small coins, while it is not yet decided whether the woman of the biblical narrative had more than one coin. Van den Bergh attaches special impor- tance to the parallel discovered by him be- tween 2 Pet. 3, and a passage in the Nida- nakatta. Both speak of the universal con- flagration, the destruction of this world by fire, and both connect the imminent destruc- tion of the world wi...th the admonition to lead a moral life. Some expressions, for example, the address "Beloved" in the Epis- tle of Peter, and "Friends" in the Buddhist, 46 New Testament Parallels and the announcement that the elements "shall melt with fervent heat, " read almost alike in both passages. But the expectation of a destruction of the world by fire need not have been transferred from an Indian idea to the New Testament, and the empha- sis of the similarity in the address shows how even meaningless reminiscences are hunted up and emphasized.
