century. The book of Acts furnishes much
information on this subject. Study also what
Jesus said about this.

XI. SELECTED READING
(Refer to the list at the end of Chapter
22.)
1. Paul wrote thirteen epistles (fourteen, if
he wrote Hebrews); Peter, two; John, ve
books (gospel, three epistles, Revelation).
2. See Chart 51, page 208, for the reigns of
emperors, procurators, and high priests
during those years.
3. The original group of twelve was reduced
to eleven with the alienation and death of
Judas (Acts 1:16-20), but it was restored to
the number of twelve when Matthias was
selected to replace Judas (Acts 1:23-26).
4. Peters behavior on this occasion has been
identi ed
in
various
versions
as
“insincerity” (RSV), “deception” (Phillips),
“playing false” (NEB), and “hypocrisy”
(NASB and NIV).
5. Of Peter’s relationship to the churches in
these areas, Tenney writes, “While there is
no statement on record that Peter founded
or even visited these churches, there is
nothing to preclude his doing so.” Merrill C.
Tenney, New Testament Survey, rev. ed., p.
345.
6. For an interesting and practical
discussion of varieties of temperament, see
O. Hallesby, Temperament and the Christian
Faith.
7. The main argument for a literal
interpretation is that the whole verse (5:13)
is a simple, matter-of-fact salutation.
8. See G. T. Manley, ed., The New Bible
Handbook, p. 399.
9. Merrill C. Tenney, New Testament Survey,
rev. ed., p. 348.
10. To what extent the persecutions at
Rome extended to other lands at this time is
not exactly known, but “Roman provincial
governors tended to re ect the Emperor’s
will, and especially in any place where
powerful elements were ill-disposed to
Christianity there might well be a severe
outbreak” (Alan M. Stibbs, The First Epistle
General of Peter, p. 54). At least by the end
of the century, in the time when John wrote
Revelation, the churches of Asia Minor were
undergoing severe persecution.
11. I consulted seven authors to compare
their outlines of 1 Peter, and I found no two
outlines alike, even concerning chapterverse dividing points. Of the seven outlines,
three centered on the subject of su ering,
one on salvation, two on Christian living,
and one on varieties of questions
