1 Peter bibliographies

Bibliographies and surveys of recent relevant literature are not only important,but simply necessary when preparing yourself for studying a NT topic, whether it might be a comprehensive one or smaller. This is the 6 bibliographies I have discovered so far concerning 1 Peter:
J. H. Elliott, “The Rehabilitation of an Exegetical Stepchild: 1 Peter in Recent Research,” Journal of Biblical Literature 95 (1976) 243–54.
D. Sylva, “1 Peter Studies: The State of the Discipline,” Biblical Theology Bulletin 10 (1980) 155–63.
D. Sylva, “A 1 Peter Bibliography,” Journal of Theological Society 25 (1982) 75–89.
A. Casurella, Bibliography of Literature on First Peter (New Testament Tools and Studies; Leiden: E.J. Brill, 1996).
L. Doering, “Schwerpunkte und Tendenzen der Neueren Petrus-Forschung,” Berliner theologische Zeitschrift 19 (2002) 203–23.
M. Dubis, “Research on 1 Peter: A Survey of Scholarly Literature Since 1985,” Currents in Biblical Research 4 (2006) 199–239.


Of course, I would also pay attention to the extensive bibliographies in the commentaries of Achtemeier and Elliott.

Torrey,

Don't forget the exhaustive (exhausting?) bibliography by Elliott in his 1 Peter Commentary in the Anchor Bible series.
