Review Quotes:
"A valuable, indeed indispensable resource, and the most thorough and up to date treatment of 1 Peter. No serious student of the letter can afford to be without it." --Filologia Neotestamentaria
"No student of First Peter should be without it, and any biblical scholar would benefit from imitating its methodological thoughtfulness, careful philological analysis, broad historical contextualization, and sensitivity to profound and pressing questions of significance." --Biblica "Williams and Horrell have done all Primopetrine scholars a great service ... It is most comprehensive and will set the standard for scholarly study in 1 Peter for years to come. Every library of theological higher education should procure it for students' and faculties' use. New Testament scholars, as able, should also prioritize purchasing this treasure trove of scholarship." --The Gospel Coalition "The exegesis of the Greek text is unparalleled ... Readers who want to explore 1 Peter in detail - perhaps as part of their university studies - will be richly rewarded." --The Global Anglican
