The prevalence of salvation language in the first letter of Peter has often been acknowledged though rarely investigated in depth. In this book Martin Williams presents an account exploring the concept of salvation in this theologically rich letter. He brings together the disciplines of hermeneutics, New Testament studies, and systematic and historical theology in order to explore the language of salvation which resonates within the text. The book also elaborates on a methodological level the segregation which has arisen between biblical studies and theological studies. In doing this, Williams identifies a basis for how there can be interaction between these two different viewpoints. This book will be a valuable resource for students and scholars interested in the exegesis and theology of 1 Peter, the doctrine of salvation and biblical interpretation.

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.

Im Jahr 1978 erschien Leonhard Goppelts bahnbrechender Kommentar zum 1. Petrusbrief. Anlässlich seines 100. Geburtstags werden hier Aufsätze von bedeutenden Kennern der Schrift zu aktuellen Brennpunkten der 1Pt-Forschung gesammelt. F.W. Horn, K. Jobs und M. Schmidt wenden sich Fragen der Entstehungs- und Kommunikationssituation des Briefes zu, während D. Horrell, L. Doering, G. Guttenberger und T. Seland sich mit Problemen der Identitätskonstruktion befassen. Chr. Müller und T. Martin betrachten jeweils Aspekte der im Brief verwendeten Metaphorik und Rhetorik, F. van Rensburg und F. Vouga erörtern Aspekte der Soteriologie und Th. Popp die in 1Pt vertretene Theologie der Anerkennung. Während T. Williams die Vorstellung von Prophetie und Offenbarung in 1Pt mit den Pesharim und Qumranschriften vergleicht, bestimmen einige Autoren mit Hilfe vergleichender Studien den Standort des 1Pt in der Theologiegeschichte des frühen Christentums: R. Feldmeier untersucht den Beitrag von 1Pt zur frühchristlicher Ethik, andere bestimmen die relative Position des Briefes zu Paulus (J. Kelhoffer, P. Hollaway), der Apostelgeschichte (Th. Klein) sowie der Johannesoffenbarung (A. Reichert; E. Boring). In einem Epilog wertet F.W. Horn Leonhard Goppelts Beitrag zur Auslegung des 1. Petrusbriefes aus.

The author of the present work wants to throw new light on the intended readers of 1 Peter by investigating what it could possibly mean that they were to live as Strangers in the Light. It is argued that the author of 1 Peter considers his readers as living a life influenced by social circumstances very much comparable to those of the Diaspora proselytes to Judaism. Hence similar discussions in Jewish Diaspora works can illuminate his descriptions and exhortations. Among these Diaspora works, the works of Philo of Alexandria should be drawn into the discussions in a much more comprehensive way than has been done so far. In addition to a study of the role of Silvanus in the making of the letter, this volume contains four studies that carry out what the author calls 'philonic readings' of central issues of 1 Peter 2,5-11. The study will demonstrate the usefulness of Jewish diaspora works for understanding the social life of the early Christians.
