Session 281: 1 Peter 1–4
One hypothesis regarding the author of this book is that the person named “Silvanus,” who appears at the end of the epistle, may be the author. Chapter 5, verse 12 states, “I am writing this short letter through our faithful brother Silvanus.” The passage that follows mentions “those in Babylon,” but among Christians at that time (based on the description in the Book of Revelation), “Babylon” referred to Rome. Considering this, it seems likely that this epistle was written clearly after the Book of Revelation (90–96 AD).
