Myers, Elizabeth A. Authorship of 1 Peter and Hebrews: New Evidence in Light of Probable Intertextual Borrowing. Cody, WY: Pistos Ktistes Publishing LLC, 2020. Description Authorship of 1 Peter and Hebrews first demonstrates that the author of Hebrews very likely knew and used the letter known as 1 Peter while crafting the epistle to the Hebrews. The matter of authorship then comes to light by examining the relationship between the Hebrews author and his/her sources. Focusing on why the author used 1 Peter as a source and how the author came to be acquainted with the letter, new evidence is discovered which not only shows that the author of Hebrews understands 1 Peter as authentically apostolic, but also reveals a striking portrait of the elusive Hebrews author which narrows the large field of proposed authors to just one credible candidate. The outcome delimits the proper historical context for exegetical study of 1 Peter and Hebrews. It narrows the range of dates during which the two documents could have been written and identifies the likely provenance, intended destination, and original recipients of both correspondences. The book includes 21 figures, 44 tables, appendices with supporting data, an index of Scripture and other ancient sources, and an index of modern authors. Publisher:
