Description

Reading First Peter with New Eyes is the second of four volumes that incorporate essays examining the impact of recent methodological advances in New Testament studies of the letters of James, 1 and 2 Peter and Jude. It includes rhetorical, social-scientific, socio-rhetorical, ideological and hermeneutical methods, as they contribute to understanding First Peter and its social context. Each essay has a similar three-fold structure, ideal for use by students: a description of the methodological approach; the application of the methodological approach to First Peter; and a conclusion identifying how the methodological approach contributes to a fresh understanding of the letter.

Reading First Peter with New Eyes follows on from the first volume in the series, Reading James With New Eyes, edited by Robert, L. Webb and John S. Kloppenborg.

Reviewed in Expository Times.
"The value of this collection lies in the way each contributor clearly delineates a particular methodological approach and creatively demonstrates how it can be applied to 1 Peter. No contributor assumes a one-size-fits-all approach to his or her respective methodologies, but rather each acknowledges how models and theories need to be re-appropriated in light of the unique characteristics and context of 1 Peter. As a whole, this volume helps to bring 1 Peter further out of the shadow of Pauline scholarship, exemplifies new developments in Petrine scholarship, and casts light on some possibilities for further application of these methodologies."
