Summary: | This essay analyses and compares four current approaches in understanding the ecclesiology of 1 Peter: Lutz Doering interprets this epistle in the light of Jewish diaspora writings, Gudrun Guttenberger emphasizes its dimension of constructing social identity, David Horrell brings forth a postcolonial reading, and Martin Vahrenhorst describes its ecclesiology as a specific Israel-ecclesiology. All four approaches agree in acknowledging that the author of 1 Peter depicts the Church as part of Israel as God's elected people. Israel is not disinherited by the Church, rather the latter partakes of the people of Israel. The concept of "rebirth" is not thought of as baptism of the individual but is imagined as the believer's transition into the Jewish people of God. |
