Persecution in 1 Peter: Differentiating and Contextualizing Early Christian Suffering de Travis B. Williams

Persecution in 1 Peter: Differentiating and Contextualizing Early Christian Suffering: Novum Testamentum, Supplements, cartea 145

Autor Travis B. Williams
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 oct 2012
In Persecution in 1 Peter, Travis B. Williams offers a comprehensive and detailed socio-historical investigation into the nature of suffering in 1 Peter. While interpreters commonly portray the conflict situation addressed by the epistle as "unofficial" persecution consisting of discrimination and verbal abuse, Williams demonstrates the inadequacy of this modern consensus by situating the letter against the backdrop of conflict management in first-century CE Asia Minor. Drawing on a wide range of historical evidence and on modern social-psychological perspectives, this work reconstructs the conflict situation of the Anatolian audience and offers important insights regarding the legal culpability of Christians following the Neronian persecution, the roles of local and provincial authorities in the judicial process, and the variegated conflict experiences of different socio-economic groups within the Christian communities.

Recenzii

"Anyone working on I Peter specifically, or on the diverse and complex ways that first-century Christians in Asia Minor navigated and negotiated their social environments generally, will be forced either to build upon Williams’s work or else to reckon with it. Williams presents his argument in a clear and accessible manner. While the book is best suited to researchers and graduate students, one could certainly make good use of individual chapters in upper- level undergraduate courses. Given the breadth of Williams’s study and the wealth of material he covers, the book will appeal to readers with a wide range of interests." – Scott S. Elliott, Adrian College, in: Journal of Theological Studies, October 2013"Throughout the book, Williams combines meticulous socio-historical inquiry with insights from social psychology (…) His insights also enable readers to appreciate the ingredients and complexities of religious conflict in other contexts and ages, through his careful examination of social relations, legal conditions and economic as well as spiritual aspects."
- Christoph Stenschke, University of South Africa, IJRF 8:1/2, 2015.
