Text of Note

The purpose of this dissertation is to study the use of the Old Testament in 1 Peter to discover Peter's method of interpreting the Old Testament in each quotation. The Old Testament quotations in 1 Peter are examined in the order which they occur in the epistle with the exception of the catena of quotations and allusions in 2:6-10. The investigation of the Old Testament citations in 1 Peter involves five steps: the determination of the source of the citation; the investigation of the citation's tradition history in Judaism and the New Testament; the study of the Old and New Testament contexts of the citation; the classification of the hermeneutics employed; and the comparison of the treatment of the citation in this study with other treatments of it. The hermeneutical classifications considered in this study are literal usage, typological-prophetic usage, analogy, illustration, legal proof, proof passage, explanatory use, direct prophecy, and midrash. The application of this methodology to 1 Peter indicates that the six Old Testament references in 1 Peter 2:6-10 are appropriated to Peter's message by means of a typological-prophetic fulfillment of them in Christ and in the church. Christ follows the pattern of and is the ultimate fulfillment of the usd\lambda\acute\iota\vartheta o\varsigmausd prophecies in 2:6-8. The church is a pattern of and the initial fulfillment of the prophecies in 2:9-10. The reason the church is considered to be the People of God in these last days, in fulfillment of these usd\lambda\alpha\acute o\varsigmausd prophecies, is because they believed in the usd\lambda\acute\iota\vartheta o\varsigmausd, Christ, the Messiah. The pattern established between the church and Israel in 2:9-10 is the foundation for the application to the church of the epistle's remaining independent Old Testament quotations. The results of this study are applied to four key hermeneutical concerns: dual authorship, language referent (the residence of the meaning in a given utterance), progress of revelation, and differing texts. The evidence suggests that 1 Peter is an exhortation concerning the proper behavior of God's people and as such it is not an exposition of the Old Testament, and thus not midrash.
