This book offers a concise and accessible introduction to "1 Peter"
aimed at undergraduate students.Like other volumes in the "New
Testament Guides" series, "1 Peter" offers a concise and accessible
introduction to a New Testament text, in this case aimed
specifically at undergraduate-level students. It provides
information on the likely historical and social setting of this
letter, on its literary form and theological content, and on issues
involved in its interpretation. It gives a balanced presentation
and assessment of the range of scholarly views on such topics, with
guidance for further reading and research.In particular, this
volume suggests that "1 Peter" is an important text not least for
the ways in which it both reflects and constructs early Christian
identity, in its relationships with Judaism and the Roman Empire.
Although "1 Peter" remains neglected compared with the canonical
gospels and the major Pauline letters, Horrell argues that the
letter deserves much more attention for the pivotal contribution it
makes to the development of early Christianity and for the ways in
which it reveals this development in progress.
