First Epistle Of Peter
The First Epistle of Peter is a book of the New Testament.
Summary |
It is identified in the incipit as "Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ" (1P 1, 1). Some modern scholars have expressed skepticism about the fact that Peter , a fisherman from the Sea of Galilee , was able to write. Are questioning the cultivated style of Greek writing and lack of personal detail suggesting contact with Jesus of Nazareth. However, his own testimony, we know he used to write to Silvanus (1P 5, 12) (this name is the Latinized form of Silas, which is the name of a character known to be a disciple of Paul (2 Corinthians 1, 19, 1 Thessalonians 1, 1, 2 Thes 1: 1, Acts 15, 40), and is an apostle (1P 1, 1), "witness of the sufferings of Christ" (1 Peter 5, 1).
Background
The letter was written " Babylon "(probably Rome ) and was sent to the Saints in what is now called the Asia Minor shortly after Nero had started to persecute Christians.
