Opis

The concept of subordination plays a prominent role in the paranesis of 1 Peter, and it appears too in the context of Christ's victory over the cosmic powers.

Recenzje

"In this thoroughly researched and carefully argued study, Steve Carter connects the themes of order, subordination and freedom in 1 Peter and argues that the author's calls for subordination are not to be seen as part of a subversive strategy, nor as merely pragmatic or apologetic, but are rooted in his theology of restored divine order, such that both subordination and freedom are properly practiced within the God-given structures of state and household. The resulting depiction of 1 Peter as a conservative and socially conformist text may or may not be appealing, depending on the reader's perspective, but the weighty case that is argued demands serious attention." -David G. Horrell, Professor of New Testament Studies and Director of the Centre for Biblical Studies, University of Exeter, UK
