From the Paper:

"In modern America we have a wealth of opportunity to study the Bible. Dozens of translations greet us at the bookstore, commentaries flood our shelves, Bible studies abound. Yet amidst these great resources we often see the Biblical passages as nothing more than a cacophony and would tear many of the harder ones out if we could. 1 Peter 3:1-5 is such a passage. It does not tell us something that we often like to hear. As it is read over, one might even get mental pictures of a feminist group picketing outside Peter's office, or maybe a group of disgruntled macho men bellowing, ?Yeah Buddy!? With words like ?submission,? and commands like "Don't adorn yourself". It is very easy to miss the meaning that Peter was trying to convey. "
