1 Peter

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“While biblical exegesis is often carried out individually, the necessity to critique, confirm, and extend the insights of others makes it a collaborative process. 1 Peter: A Collaborative Commentary takes this cooperative venture to another level. By integrating distinct interpretive voices into a substantive analysis of 1 Peter, this commentary serves as a model of reflective scholarly dialogue.”

Embedded Genres in the New Testament

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“A proper understanding of ancient genres is fundamental to biblical interpretation. But since each scriptural text consists of a variety of literary forms, the task of interpreters extends beyond merely identifying the characteristics of a single type of literature; readers must also account for the use of one genre in another. It is surprising, therefore, that this topic has received so little attention within modern scholarship. This book fills the lacuna perfectly, however. By carefully delineating the function and significance of embedded genres, Jeannine K. Brown has supplied readers of the New Testament with a valuable resource, one that brings fresh interpretive perspective to familiar texts.”

On the Origin of Christian Scripture

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“With historical precision, Trobisch extends his innovative challenge to long-rehearsed theories about the formation of the New Testament canon, assembling further evidence for an early four-volume canonical edition of the Christian scriptures.”

Reading 1 Peter After Supersessionism

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Liebengood skillfully and sensitively navigates the intricacies of 1 Peter on his way to problematizing the traditional supersessionist interpretation of the letter. Interacting with the latest developments in the field and introducing creative solutions to questions that have long puzzled interpreters, he offers an informed and informative reading of the epistle, one that includes an innovative perspective on the ‘Israelhood’ that 1 Peter calls the gentiles to embrace. Petrine scholarship will long be indebted to this trailblazing work.”
