Hey all,
I am in the midst of gathering material for my dreaded Senior Paper, which is 40 pages with at least 60 sources (20 periodicals/40 books) on the bibliography. I have approximately 40 tetative journal articles, but I'm sure I'll toss out many of those, but I have only 12 books so far, but I haven't added many commentaries or Greek lexical and grammatical tools.
Anyways, my topic is the Holy Spirit as found in the Petrine epistles. I will be doing an exegesis of all the places the Spirit is either explicitly or implicitly mentioned and will examine Peter's view of the Spirit.
If you know of any good commentaries (I have a list of some, but I don't care if you repeat some of the obvious ones) on these two epistles. Also, any studies or articles dealing with the epistles in general or with biblical pneumatologies would be appreciated. The text I have so far to look at are these: 1 Pet 1:2, 10-12; 2:4-5; 3:18-20; 4:6, 8-11, 12-14; 2 Pet 1:19-21. So if you have one that deals with any of these (even if the main subject is not the Holy Spirit) would also be a great help.
Anyways, the working thesis I have so far from a provisional read-through is that the Spirit is mentioned in the Petrine Epistles as the bringer of comfort and reassurance in the midst of suffering as well as the inspiration behind the utterances of the prophets and the preachers of the Gospel.
