In this significant study, John Hall Elliott offers a thorough analysis of the theological and sociological concepts of election and holiness as presented in 1 Peter. By looking at the letter’s historical context, Elliott uncovers the deep meaning behind the description of the Christian community as 'the elect' and 'the holy'. This book is a vital resource for scholars and students alike who wish to explore the communal identity of the early Church. It helps you understand how these ancient concepts of being 'chosen by God' were meant to offer hope and direction to a scattered and suffering community. With careful exegesis and historical depth, the author guides you through the implications of these doctrines, encouraging you to reflect on your own identity within the body of Christ. An essential read for anyone dedicated to the serious study of New Testament theology and the life of the early Church.
