AB 37B: 1 Peter

A New Translation with Introduction and Commentary.

The significance of the First Letter of Peter for the formation of Christianity
stands in sharp contrast to its brevity. John H. Elliott, a leading authority
on this letter, brings its significance to life in this magnificent addition to
the renowned Anchor Bible Commentaries. Elliott sets the letter into context,
covering its literary, historical, theological, and linguistic elements. In
detailed, accessible discussions, he draws on the latest research to illuminate
the social and cultural influences on the Church in its initial years. Treating
such important Petrine concerns as living honorably in a hostile society,
finding meaning in suffering, and resisting social assimilation as the elect
and holy family of God, the translation, notes, and commentary in this volume
will help readers appreciate the powerful and enduring message of this
fascinating letter.

This commentary [...] is so controlled by Elliott's 'home for the " homeless' thesis (though at many points suggestive) that most of the vision is
driven by social-science perspectives. - D.A. Carson"
