| Summary: | The Greek of 1 Peter is almost unanimously viewed as being the quality of a highly-educated native Greek writer. This study applies a quantitative analysis of the syntax of 1 Peter in comparison to that of Polybius, Josephus, 1 Thessalonians, and Hebrews 5–9, showing that there is a significant degree of Semitic interference in 1 Peter. The study concludes that 1 Peter was probably written by a Semitic speaker for whom Greek was a second language. |
