I'm in the process of thinking through a complete answer to that question. On one hand, I don't think Peter is advocating pacifism. I think the ultimate motivation has to do with Gospel-witness. I think this must be reflected in a Christian's priorities. Political activism (or 'inactivism') is somewhat beside the point in the first century context (though some scholars are increasingly interested in anti-empire rhetoric in Paul...I think such scholarship is misunderstanding Paul and overstating the case). Anyway, I plan to post some thoughts on what submission might look like in an American context in light of NT teaching. I'll look forward to your thoughts on this. Thanks Joel.

Josh, seeing the upswing in rhetoric today, what sort of applications do you see in Peter for today's world? Excellent, Josh.
