In this book, Katie Marcar examines how 1 Peter draws together
metaphors of family, ethnicity, temple, and priesthood to describe
Christian identity. She examines the precedents for these metaphors
in Second Temple Judaism and early Christianity in order to
highlight the originality, creativity and theological depth of the
text. She then explores how these metaphors are combined and
developed in 1 Peter to create complex, narratival metaphors which
reframe believers' understanding of themselves, their community,
and their world. Integrating insights on ethnicity and race in the
ancient and modern world, as well as insights from metaphor
studies, Marcar examines why it is important for Christians to
think of themselves as one family and ethnic group. Marcar
concludes by distilling the metaphors of divine regeneration down
to their underlying systematic metaphors.
