Zechariah 9-14 as the substructure of 1 Peter’s eschatological program
No full textThe principal aim of this study is to discern what has shaped the author of 1 Peter to regard Christian suffering as a necessary (1.6) and to-be-expected (4.12) component of faithful allegiance to Jesus Christ. Most research regarding suffering in 1 Peter has limited the scope of inquiry to two particular aspects—its cause and nature, and the strategies that the author of 1 Peter employs in order to enable his addressees to respond in faithfulness. There remains, however, the need for a comprehensive explanation for the source that has generated 1 Peter’s theology of Christian suffering. If Jesus truly is the Christ, God’s chosen redemptive agent who has come to restore God’s people, then how can it be that Christian suffering is a necessary part of discipleship after his coming, death and resurrection? What led the author of 1 Peter to such a startling conclusion, which seems to runs against the grain of the eschatological hopes and expectations of Jewish restoration ideology?
This thesis analyzes the appropriation of shepherd and fiery trials imagery,
and argues that the author of 1 Peter is dependent upon Zechariah 9-14 for his
theology of Christian suffering. Said in another way, the eschatological program of
Zechariah 9-14, read through the lens of the Gospel, functions as the substructure
for 1 Peter’s eschatology and thus its theology of Christian suffering.
In support of this hypothesis, this study highlights the fact that Zechariah 9-
14 was available and appropriated in early Christianity, in particular in the Passion
Narrative tradition; that the shepherd imagery of 1 Pet 2.25 is best understood
within the milieu of the Passion Narrative tradition, and that it alludes to the
eschatological program of Zechariah 9-14; that the fiery trials imagery found in 1
Peter 1.6-7 and 1 Pet 4.12 is distinct from that which we find in Greco-Roman and OT
wisdom sources, and that it shares exclusive parallels with some unique features of
the eschatological program of Zechariah 9-14; that Zechariah 9-14 offers a more
satisfying explanation for the modification of Isa 11.2 in 1 Pet 4.14, the transition
from 4.12-19 to 5.1-4, why Peter has oriented his letter with the term διασπορά,
and why he has described his addresses as οἶκος τοῦ θεοῦ; and finally that 1 Peter
contains an implicit foundational narrative that shares distinct parallels with the
eschatological program of Zechariah 9-14.
We can conclude that 1 Peter offers a unique vista into the way in which at
least one early Christian witness came to understand and to communicate the fact
that Christian suffering was a necessary feature of faithful allegiance to Jesus Christ
Point/Counterpoint: Early Detection of Prostate Cancer: Do the Benefits Outweigh the Consequences?
No full textFew clinical issues have polarized the oncology community as much as screening for prostate cancer, with advocates of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing vocal on one side and skeptics just as vocal on the other. At the NCCN 19th Annual Conference, Dr. Peter R. Carroll and Dr. Andrew J. Vickers tackled the controversy surrounding early detection of prostate cancer, focusing attention on the randomized trial results at the heart of the matter; over-detection (the Achilles’ heel of screening); and the rationale behind the new, streamlined 2014 NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines) for Prostate Cancer Early Detection, which emphasize selective early detection and treatment and are tightly aligned with the NCCN Guidelines for Prostate Cancer.</jats:p
Peter Kean to Susan Niemcewicz, November 12, 1808
No full textPeter Kean wrote from Belvedere, Maryland to Susan Niemcewicz in Elizabethtown, New Jersey. Susan may be a little surprised to find that Peter was still in Belvedere but the kindness and hospitality he received made it difficult for him to leave. He planned to tear himself away the following morning so he could be present at the debate Monday, which he trusted would be interesting as it pertained to raising the Embargo. Peter attended a dance at Mr. Hollens where he saw a great number of beautiful woman, but none who could make him forget Sally Jay. On Tuesday, Peter dined with Mr. Barnabue where he had accepted Mr. C. Carrol’s invitation where he met Mr. and Mrs. Middleton of Carolina. Mr. Middleton informed Peter that he knew his father. The following evening, Peter dined with Mr. Harper. Thursday, he was obliged to refuse an invitation to dine with old Mr. Gilmore in consequence of an engagement with Dr. McHenry the former Secretary of War. However, John and Peter left the Dr’s. early and went to the “old Gent’s” where they met old Mr. Carrol. Planned to dine with Mr. R Gilmore who married Miss Ladson. Peter attended Mass with Mr. Barnabue who carried him to the Bishop’s who was one of the most venerable old men Peter had ever seen.
