Synopsis:

The first volume in Travis B. Williams' and David G. Horrell's magisterial ICC commentary on first Peter.

Williams and Horrell bring together all the relevant aids to exegesis - linguistic, textual, archaeological, historical, literary, and theological - to help the reader understand the letter. This first volume presents introductory maps, and a comprehensive introduction covering aspects such as genre, canonicity, early citations of the letter, and its theology and influence. A particular feature of the introduction is that each section is preceded by an initial bibliography. The exegesis also provides for each passage sections on bibliography, text-criticism, literary introduction, detailed exegesis, and overall summary.

Following the introduction, volume 1 provides commentary on the first two chapters of the letter.
