In Christianity Lot is recalled in the New Testament as a righteous man rescued from Sodom’s destruction. The Second Letter of Peter presents him as a good man suffering among the depravity of Sodom and uses his rescue as an example of God’s deliverance of the righteous and punishment of the wicked. Christian tradition also gave special attention to Lot’s wife as a warning figure.
