About the Preacher

Pastor David Jang

Pastor David Jang is the Founder and International President of Olivet University. Devoting decades to grassroots mission work and digital media ministry, he planted the Gospel across the world. In 2000, he established Olivet Theological College and Seminary (OTCS) in Los Angeles, and on March 3, 2004, officially founded Olivet University in San Francisco — adding schools of theology, music, journalism, art, and technology to train missionaries for the Great Commission.

Pastor David Jang's exposition of 2 Peter proceeds from the Greek original text, weaving together church-historical context and theological depth. Chapter 1 unpacks the meaning of epignosis (ἐπίγνωσις) and demonstrates how the ladder of virtues confirms one's calling and election, while the eyewitness testimony of the Transfiguration establishes the supreme authority of Scripture (Sola Scriptura). Chapter 2 dissects the essence of first-century heresies — Gnosticism and Docetism — through the typology of judgment seen in Noah, Sodom, and Balaam, diagnosing the patterns of false teaching from both historical and biblical angles. Chapter 3 counters the cyclical worldview of those who mock the Second Coming by presenting a linear, purposive view of history, and proclaims the eschatological hope of the new heavens and new earth through Theodicy and God's patient longsuffering.
