Echoes of Jesus in the First Epistle of Peter

“Behind Tim Miller’s excellent study stands an exercise rarely undertaken in today’s Christian academia: 1 Peter memorized in its entirety. Tim’s recitation of the epistle with kerygmatic pathos followed by profound exegetical reflections will be remembered as a highlight of our doctoral seminar. . . . A study that combines the rigor of academic investigation with spiritual nourishment drawn from memorized Scripture will always impress and persuade.”


—Radu Gheorghita, Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary





“Timothy Miller has produced a comprehensive work on the use of the Jesus tradition in 1 Peter. He carefully defines his method, argues his case for each suggested use, supports the argument with many charts and tables, and makes appropriately modest conclusions. . . . All in the field will appreciate his clarity, care, and modesty and that he has written what will be the necessary foundation for further work on this topic.”


—Peter H. Davids, Chaplain, Dominican Sisters of Mary, Georgetown, Texas





“Intertextuality between the Old and New Testaments hinges on one’s methodology. The same is true for intertextuality within each Testament. Tim Miller establishes and follows a disciplined methodology that attends to demonstrable links between Jesus’ teaching and 1 Peter. This book provides insight on a number of levels—a resource for teachers, students, and pastors.”
