| Title: 1 Peter 3:6b in the Light of Philo and Josephus Pages: 126-129 Type: Generic Year: 1991 Abstract: "Philo und Josephus hatten nachweislich Schwierigkeiten mit dem in Gen gezeichneten Bild Saras als einer Frau, der Abraham gehorcht (Gen 16,2 und 21,12). Hellenistische Juden suchten solche Züge umzudeuten, um Sara als gehorsame und unterwürfige Ehefrau erscheinen zu lassen. In ihrer Gefolgschaft stehen auch der Verf. von 1 Petr, wie 3,6 b zeigt. // Some details in the Genesis account of Sarah and Abraham's marriage were embarrassing to men in the Hellenistic age (i.e. a man taking order from his wife). Faced with scriptural evidence that Abraham did indeed obey his wife, Philo resorted to several tactis: allegory, denial of Sarah's womanhood/wifehood, and subtle reconstructions of details in the story. Josephus employs the third stategy (Ant. 1:187). The author of 1 Peter may have been more deliberate in reinterpreting the story in 1 Pet 3:6 than M. Kiley (§32-1282] would allow. - C.R.M."
