Maybe there are no non-christian scholars who believe that 1 and 2 Peter were written the the apostle Peter. I'd have to do a lot more research to determine that. But as I already said, it's good to get opinions from both sides. One thing I can say is that I haven't read any proof on either side of the argument. It's my scholar vs your scholar. You can show evidence and state opinions, but that's all.

Lousy argument. Authors have always used secretaries and ghostwriters. I'll admit, though, that we can't prove for certain that any of the new testament was written by eyewitnesses. In fact, we can't know who wrote these books. For now, I'll stick with opinions of the early church, but I'll remain open in this regard. But you are making an unsubstantiated claim when you say that none of the new testament was written by eyewitnesses or contemporaries of Jesus.
