Restored Order

Meer over het boek

Subordination is a central theme in 1 Peter, intertwined with the idea of Christ's triumph over cosmic powers. The text suggests a natural and social order where individuals occupy specific roles. However, the author emphasizes that this subordination is influenced by the readers' identity as free people, exploring this dynamic in various passages. The interplay between hierarchy and freedom offers a nuanced perspective on the expectations and responsibilities of believers within their societal context.
