I'm underwhelmed.... I don't have a problem if Peter was not the author, and 2 Peter was not as quickly accepted as the other texts by the early church (although it isn't said as to why). However, as I previously discussed, I am generally not very impressed with the examples of linguistic differences and the sharp conclusions that are drawn from them at times (especially if you take into consideration an amanuenses) The best thing mentioned here is the allusion to Gnosticism but even that some already consider a gnostic presence into the end of the 1st century.
