Second Peter is known as a general or catholic ('universal') epistle because it is not directed to any one church, but to the Christian community as a whole. The author of 2 Peter goes out of his way to insist that he is Peter, as he not only names himself Simeon Peter (2 Peter 1:1), but stresses that he was personally present with Jesus on the mount at the transfiguration (2:16-19). The use of the Hebrew 'Simeon' is one of several giveaways that this epistle was not really written by the Apostle Peter, who would always have used the Aramaic form, from his native language - Simon Peter.(The KJV corrects this error, translating Simeon into English as Simon, but other Bibles keep the original).
