Book excerpt: The Messianic Woes---a period of intense suffering expected in both Jewish and Christian literature to accompany the advent of Messiah and consequently, the end of the present world order---have long been seen in 1 Peter studies as a potential background for understanding the eschatological setting of passages that describe the sufferings of Christ and Christians. Recently, the main arguments defending the use of this paradigm have been summarized and defended in two major works: The Messianic Woes in 1 Peter 4:12-19 (2002) by Mark Dubis, and Deliverance Now and Not Yet (2003) by C. Marvin Pate and Douglas Kennard. This dissertation addresses concerns about the circumvention of contextual interpretations of specific passages in 1 Peter by the application of this paradigm portrayed in these two studies. The goal was to interact with arguments in an contextual study of key passages in order to demonstrate that the use of the Messianic woes paradigm is neither demanded nor necessarily beneficial to understanding the suffering in 1 Peter.
