The relationship between the Church and the Scriptures of Israel is
fraught with complexities, particularly about how the first
Christians read Scripture alongside the Gospel of Christ. Patrick
T. Egan examines the text of 1 Peter in the light of its numerous
quotations of Scripture and demonstrates how the epistle sets forth
a scriptural narrative that explains the nature and purpose of the
Church. Egan argues that 1 Peter sets forth an ecclesiology based
in a participatory Christology, in which the Church endures
suffering in imitation of Jesus's role as the suffering servant.
The epistle admonishes the Church to a high moral standard in
response to Christ's atoning work while also encouraging the Church
to place hope in God's final vindication of his people. Addressing
the churches of Asia Minor, 1 Peter applies the Scriptural
narrative to the Church in unexpected ways.
