Using both ancient and modern rhetoric, linguistics, and
argumentation theory, this study offers a fresh approach to 1 Peter
and New Testament ethics. It is often claimed that the growing
interest in paraenesis, or ethical teaching, among early Christians
indicates how Jesus' revolutionary teaching and the Pauline notion
of justification by faith were gradually replaced by an emphasis on
good works and ethics borrowed from the surrounding Hellenistic and
Jewish culture. The Motivation of the Paraenesis challenges this
traditional view of ethics in early Christianity, arguing that
paraenesis was an original, essential part of early Christian
doctrine and life. The book also provides a new, well-balanced
picture of 1 Peter and its message, giving a natural interpretation
to many puzzling sections and clarifying the internal logic of the
text and the theology behind it.>
