1 Peter blog

Torrey Seland has launched a new blog on 1 Peter:

Research Notes on 1 Peter

Welcome to this new blog on 1 Peter. I have for some time been very interested in the First letter of Peter, and as I have not discovered any blogs dealing primarily with 1 Peter, I hereby launch my little contribution. It will focus on 1 Peter research, e.g., recent literature on 1 Peter published, exegetical problems discussed, etc etc, but you will probably also find several other postings related to New Testament studies in general, ranging from computer technology issues to issues related to teaching the New Testament in a theological seminary setting.

(table of contents, introduction, and first chapter)

“The book is an excellent introduction to Prof. Elliott’s seminal work in applying social-scientific analysis of this New Testament writing, and will richly reward its careful reader.”
—Paul J. Achtemeier, author of 1 Peter (Hermeneia)

“This . . . reading reveals the letter in its own context, in such a way that we can appropriate its message and values into our own.”
—Carolyn Osiek, coauthor of A Woman’s Place: House Churches in Earliest Christianity

“Here, as elsewhere, Elliott expertly joins the findings of social-scientific research with the insights of literary and theological analysis to clarify the ‘good news’ that is proclaimed in this often-overlooked New Testament writing.”
—Victor Paul Furnish, author of The Moral Teaching of Paul
