The author of 1 Peter regards Christian suffering as a necessary
feature of faithful allegiance to Jesus, which precedes the full
restoration and vindication of God's people. Much previous research
has explored only the cause and nature of suffering; Kelly D.
Liebengood now addresses the need for an explanation for the source
that has generated this particular understanding. If Jesus truly is
God's redemptive agent, come to restore His people, how can
Christian suffering be a necessary part of discipleship after his
coming, death and resurrection, and what led the author of 1 Peter
to such a startling conclusion? Liebengood analyzes the
appropriation of shepherds, exodus, and fiery trials imagery and
argues that the author of 1 Peter is dependent upon the
eschatological programme of Zechariah 9-14 for his theology of
Christian suffering. This book will interest those studying the New
Testament, Petrine theology and early Christianity.
