Abstract

This paper explores an aspect of the Christian identity in the First Epistle of Peter; how it contributes to or informs the central message of the epistle, and its implications for Christian praxis. How were the recipients of 1 Peter addressed? What was the reason for the identity and in what way was their identity to inform or relate to their daily lifestyle and mission? How might this inform a perspective on the implications of the Christian identity in the world today?
