We use Mark's activities after he left Rome in 63, plus the conditions of the churches in Turkey at the time of writing, to help nail down the date for the First Epistle of Peter. We also look at the expectations Peter gave to those churches. If you wish to have the PDF lesson outline for this podcast, simply email us to request it (preterist1@preterist.org). Be sure to mention the date of the podcast.
