The New Testament letter of 1 Peter often gets short changed. But what if this letter holds a special relevance for us today? This conversation with Dr. Janette Ok, professor of New Testament at Fuller Seminary, brings to light how we can continue to connect this ancient letter to Christian life today and how the letter's author uses 'ethnic reasoning' to help shape Christian community. Scott and Janette discuss Janette's contributions to the upcoming volume, The New Testament in Color, and how Asian American biblical interpretation serves as a gift to the whole church. Plus, Janette shares her exciting vision for a church, guided by the Spirit's power, and capable of living with disagreement while rooted in the person of Christ.
