"The Expositor's Bible: The Epistles of St. Peter" by J.Rawson Lumby is a series of letters (1887 - 1894). The two letters which bear the name of St. Peter have from the earliest times met with very different degrees of acceptance. The genuineness of the First Epistle is attested by the unanimous voice of primitive Christendom. As it is addressed to Christians dwelling in different parts of Asia Minor, it is natural to look for knowledge of it in those countries. And nowhere is it earlier noticed. Polycarp, Bishop of Smyrna, a contemporary of the last surviving Apostle, whose martyrdom took place about the middle of the second century, has repeated quotations from this Epistle.
