To this end, I shall focus on the interaction among four aspects of the letter: its social situation, its explicit statements about suffering, its symbolic construction of a communal self-identity for the addressees, and its references to Christ. An introductory survey of recent literature on 1 Peter, with special reference to the relationship among these four topics, will serve to clarify some of the issues involved in pursuing my objective.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Steven Richard Bechtler</note> <subject> <topic>Sorrow</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">227.92067</classification> <classification authority="ddc">S843-B39</classification> <identifier type="isbn">0788504851</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2021/12/10/51GKL_dzqLL.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2021/12/10/51GKL_dzqLL.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2021-1</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119070422.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
