Book Storyline
1 Peter Storyline
1 Peter traces the theological and practical logic of Christian suffering: believers, reborn through Christ's resurrection into a living hope, learn that their refining trials conform them to Christ's own righteous suffering, which both vindicates their conscience before hostile witnesses and anchors them in the grace of God that will ultimately restore what seems broken.
