A:

The two books known as The First Epistle of Peter (1 Peter) and The Second Epistle of Peter (2 Peter) are traditionally attributed to Simon Peter. However, New Testament scholars say that both books were actually written in the second century, by two different but anonymous authors. Peter wrote neither of these.
