Jobes writes an academic defense of Peter’s authorship in her intro. Her arguments don’t feel predetermined and are based on historical reasoning/linguistic analysis. For example, while Peter lacked Greek fluency, and critics use this to argue against Petrine authorship, Jobes reasons that the letter has a syntax reflective of a Semitic origin, whether through dictation, collaboration, or the use of a scribe.

First Peter is the only NT text to explore what it means to live as a “foreigner” (parepidemos) in a world where adherence to Christ brings alienation, judgment, and persecution. Peter’s words were first addressed to a refugee community, but as with any NT text, they hold relevance generationally. As much as he spoke to them, he spoke to the LDS pioneers, and just the same, he speaks to you, Karissa.
