Jennifer Bird examines the subjectivity of wives in 1 Peter with
particular reference to the Haustafel (household code) section of
the letter. Bird analyzes the construction of wives' subjectivity
in 1 Peter , working primarily with that is referrre to as the
Haustafel (household code) section and engaging feminist critical
questions, postcolonial theory, and materialist theory in her
analysis. Bird examines the two crucial labels for understanding
Petrine Christian identity - 'aliens and refugees' and 'royal
priesthood and holy nation' - and finds them to stand in stark
contract with the commands and identity given to the wives in the
Haustafel section. Similarly, the command to 'honour the Emperor',
which immediately precedes the Haustafel, engenders a rich
discussion of the text's socio-political implications. The critical
engagement of several 'symptomatic irruptions' within the comands
to the wives unvcovers the abusive dynamic underlying this section
of the letter. Finally, Bird considers the present day implications
of her study. Formerly The Journal for the Study of the New
Testament Supplement , a book series that explores the many aspects

social-scientific and literary theory, and theological, cultural
and contextual approaches. The Early Christianity in Context

series places Christianity in its social, cultural, political and
economic context. European Seminar on Christian Origins and Journal
for the Study of the Historical Jesus Supplement are also part of
JSNTS.
