This book was released on 2002 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores 1 Peter against the backdrop of apocalyptic thought within early Judaism and Christianity, especially the concept of messianic woes (an expectation that a period of suffering and tribulation would preface the coming of the Messiah). It focuses upon 1 Peter's most eschatologically charged passage, 4:12-19, and argues that the messianic woes pattern shapes both this pericope as well as the book as a whole.

Book Synopsis The Question of the Messianic Woes in 1 Peter by : Markus Theron Klausli
Download or read book The Question of the Messianic Woes in 1 Peter written by Markus Theron Klausli and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Messianic Woes---a period of intense suffering expected in both Jewish and Christian literature to accompany the advent of Messiah and consequently, the end of the present world order---have long been seen in 1 Peter studies as a potential background for understanding the eschatological setting of passages that describe the sufferings of Christ and Christians. Recently, the main arguments defending the use of this paradigm have been summarized and defended in two major works: The Messianic Woes in 1 Peter 4:12-19 (2002) by Mark Dubis, and Deliverance Now and Not Yet (2003) by C. Marvin Pate and Douglas Kennard. This dissertation addresses concerns about the circumvention of contextual interpretations of specific passages in 1 Peter by the application of this paradigm portrayed in these two studies. The goal was to interact with arguments in an contextual study of key passages in order to demonstrate that the use of the Messianic woes paradigm is neither demanded nor necessarily beneficial to understanding the suffering in 1 Peter.

Download or read book 1 Peter written by Ernest Best and published by . This book was released on 1971 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The First Letter of Peter is important not only for its own sake but also for the light it throws on the life of the early church. Its author, probably not the apostle Peter, belonged to the central stream of early Christianity and used much of the common tradition; the churches to which he wrote stood under the threat of persecution. This commentary not only deals with the customary difficult question of authorship and date but by a careful exegesis seeks to bring our the characteristic contribution of the Letter to Christian thought, to draw attention to the material common to the early Christian tradition, and to bring out what can be learned of the early church from the Letter.
Book Synopsis Temple, Exile and Identity in 1 Peter by : Andrew M. Mbuvi
Download or read book Temple, Exile and Identity in 1 Peter written by Andrew M. Mbuvi and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2007-05-10 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Temple, Exile and Identity in 1 Peter will generate a fresh and perhaps even a new understanding of the main themes of 1 Peter, which include questions of identity, suffering, hope, holiness, and judgment. Mbuvi explores the temple imagery in the epistle of 1 Peter and focuses on the use of cultic language in constituting the new identity of the Petrine community. He contends that temple imagery in 1 Peter undergirds the entire epistle. 1 Peter directly connects the community's identity with the temple by describing it in terms reminiscent of the temple structure. He calls the members of the community "living stones", formulating an image that has been categorized as a "Temple-Community." This concern with the temple characterizes the restoration eschatology in the Second Temple period with its focus on the establishment of the eschatological temple. Restoration of Israel was also to be characterized by hope for the re-gathering of the scattered of Israel, the conversion or destruction of the Gentiles, and the establishment of God's universal reign, all of which are reflected in the discourse of the epistle.
Book Synopsis Reading 1 Peter Missiologically by : Abeneazer G. Urga
Download or read book Reading 1 Peter Missiologically written by Abeneazer G. Urga and published by William Carey Publishing. This book was released on 2024-06-24 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gaining Fresh Insights for Missions In today’s world, the church on mission faces the immense challenge of engaging an array of cultures and ideologies. To address these issues, theologians and missiologists usually focus on Jesus and Paul. However, the Apostle Peter’s words, steeped in wisdom, are another vital link between foundational Christian truths and the complexities of our global context. For this reason, Reading 1 Peter Missiologically is a significant contribution to both biblical scholarship and mission practice. Examining 1 Peter through a missiological lens unveils the apostle’s strategic approach to cross-cultural evangelism amidst persecution and cultural diversity. It is not just an academic exercise; the authors provide practical insights for missionaries, church leaders, and theologians, helping them to contextualize the gospel in a culturally sensitive manner. This book bridges the gap between theological study and real-world application. Reading 1 Peter Missiologically is an essential resource for anyone seeking to participate in Christian outreach more effectively. It challenges readers to rethink modern missionary strategies. If you want to deepen your understanding of the Bible’s teaching on global mission and apply it across the world, this book is a must-read.

Book Synopsis Ecclesiology and the Scriptural Narrative of 1 Peter by : Patrick T Egan
Download or read book Ecclesiology and the Scriptural Narrative of 1 Peter written by Patrick T Egan and published by James Clarke & Company. This book was released on 2017-02-23 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
Book Synopsis Death and the Afterlife in the New Testament by : Jaime Clark-Soles
Download or read book Death and the Afterlife in the New Testament written by Jaime Clark-Soles and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2006-11-15 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clark-Soles began this project in order to answer the question, "What exactly does the New Testament say about death and afterlife?" It turns out that it says both more and less than one might hope or expect. By more, she means that every time the subject of death and what happens after death arises, it is clear that the authors' interests far exceed answering that single question. Their comments emerge from the concerns and experiences of living Christian communities, they relate to a larger theological and pastoral agenda, and their primary focus remains life on earth and the proper living of it. The texts say less than one may hope because no author sets out to answer my question directly. There is no systematic theology in the New Testament regarding death and aftelife. Certainly resurrection appears throughout, though differently emphasized and interpreted. Beyond that, the fascinating aspects of the question are in the details of the texts. Therefore, the appropriate question, as it turns out, is not: What does the New Testament say about death and afterlife, but what do various New Testament texts say about it? Others have sought to unify the New Testament witness, glossing over the individual pictures presented by the New Testament authors. Clark-Soles revels in the snapshots of the individuals and am less interested in the family photo. Clark-Soles inquires into the specific language that each author uses regarding death and afterlife. She explores anthropology, cosmology, eschatology, and, where relevant, theology and Christology. Finally, Clark-Soles suggests ways that the stated views function in each situation.
Book Synopsis Narrative, Calling, and Missional Identity in 1 Peter by : David Shaw
Download or read book Narrative, Calling, and Missional Identity in 1 Peter written by David Shaw and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-11-13 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A story well-told and subsequently imbibed by its recipients has the power to shape one’s beliefs, identity, and way of life. So, what happens when a person or community is swept up in such a story? In this study, Shaw draws upon the dual methodologies of Narrative Transportation and Social Identity theories to consider how 1 Peter’s use of Old Testament narratives and καλέω language serves to ‘transport’ it’s recipients into an identity defined as ‘elect sojourners’. Amidst suffering, 1 Peter ‘calls’ the Anatolian believers to a priestly ministry, blessing their antagonists as they await their eternal glory in Christ.
Book Synopsis The Contest for Time and Space in the Roman Imperial Cults and 1 Peter by : Wei Hsien Wan
Download or read book The Contest for Time and Space in the Roman Imperial Cults and 1 Peter written by Wei Hsien Wan and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-10-17 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wei Hsien Wan builds on the work of David Horrell and Travis Williams for his argument that the letter of 1 Peter engages in a subtle, calculated form of resistance to Rome, that has often gone undetected. Whilst previous discussion of the topic has remained largely focused on the letter's stance toward specific Roman institutions, such as the emperor, household structures, and the imperial cults, Wan takes the conversation beyond these confines and examines 1 Peter's critique of the Roman Empire in terms of its ideology or worldview. Using the work of James Scott to conceptualize ideological resistance against domination, Wan considers how the imperial cults of Anatolia and 1 Peter offered distinct constructions of time and space-that is, how they envisioned reality differently. Insofar as these differences led to divergent ways of conceiving the social order, they acquired political power and generated potential for conflict. Wan thus argues that 1 Peter confronts Rome on a cosmic scale with its alternative construal of time and space, and examines the evidence that the Petrine author consciously, if cautiously, interrogated the imperial imagination at its most foundational levels, and set forth in its place a theocentric, Christological understanding of the world.

Book Synopsis Beyond Canon by : Meron Gebreananaye
Download or read book Beyond Canon written by Meron Gebreananaye and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-12-24 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book highlights the significance of a group of five texts excluded from the standard Christian Bible and preserved only in Ge'ez, the classical language of Ethiopia. These texts are crucial for modern scholars due to their significance for a wide range of early readers, as extant fragments of other early translations confirm in most cases. Yet they are also noted for their eventual marginalization and abandonment, as a more restrictive understanding of the biblical canon prevailed – everywhere except in Ethiopia, with its distinctive Christian tradition in which the concept of a “closed canon” is alien. In focusing upon 1 Enoch, Jubilees, the Ascension of Isaiah, the Epistula Apostolorum, and the Apocalypse of Peter, the contributors to this volume group them together as representatives of a time in early Christian history when sacred texts were not limited by a sharply defined canonical boundary. In doing so, this book also highlights the unique and under-appreciated contribution of the Ethiopic Christian Tradition to the study of early Christianity.
