Restored order :subordination and freedom in 1 Peter

The concept of subordination plays a prominent role in the paranesis of 1 Peter, and it appears too in the context of Christ’s victory over the cosmic powers.

But the author also sees his readers’ subordination as conditioned by their status as free people, which he expounds…
