This volume offers a concise and accessible introduction to 1 Peter,
especially aimed at undergraduate-level students. It provides
information on the likely historical and social setting of this
letter, on its literary form and theological content, and on issues
involved in its interpretation. In particular, this volume suggests
that 1 Peter is an important text not least for the ways in which it
both reflects and constructs early Christian identity, in its
relationships with Judaism and the Roman Empire. Although 1 Peter
remains neglected compared with the canonical gospels and the major
Pauline letters, Horrell argues that the letter deserves much more
attention for the pivotal contribution it makes to the development of
early Christianity and for the ways in which it reveals this
development in progress.
