"Temple, Exile and Identity in 1 Peter" will generate a fresh and
perhaps even a new understanding of the main themes of "1 Peter",
which include questions of identity, suffering, hope, holiness, and
judgment. Mbuvi explores the temple imagery in the epistle of "1
Peter" and focuses on the use of cultic language in constituting
the new identity of the Petrine community. He contends that temple
imagery in "1 Peter" undergirds the entire epistle. "1 Peter"
directly connects the community's identity with the temple by
describing it in terms reminiscent of the temple structure. He
calls the members of the community "living stones", formulating an
image that has been categorized as a "Temple-Community." This
concern with the temple characterizes the restoration eschatology
in the Second Temple period with its focus on the establishment of
the eschatological temple. Restoration of Israel was also to be
characterized by hope for the re-gathering of the scattered of
Israel, the conversion or destruction of the Gentiles, and the
establishment of God's universal reign, all of which are reflected
in the discourse of the epistle.
