| Summary: | A socio-historic interpretation of the labeling of the addressees in 1 Peter as 'strangers of the Diaspora' and 'resident aliens' is given, in order to approximate the way in which the first hearers readers of the letter were involved in their society and exhorted by the author to react to their situation. The implications of these exhortations for Christians in South Africa today are investigated. |
