That depends on who you read most Bible translators, expositors will say it was written by Peter, one of the original twelve, probably Silvanus or Silas did the actual writing. There has been no serious challenge to Peter being the author of 1 Peter. The early historian Eusebius listed it among the undisputed books and early church fathers like Polycarp, Ireenaeus, Tertillian ascribed it to Peter. The author calls himself Peter and claims to be an apostle, he also states he was a witness to Christ's suffering and post resurrection glory (1Peter 5:1).

Regarding I Peter, Halley's Bible Handbook, under the heading "Occasion of Writing" says:
"...The Church was undergoing a world trial (5:9). It seemed as if the end had come. It was literally a 'fiery trial'(4:12). Christians were being burned nightly in Nero's gardens. It did look as if the Devil, as a 'roaring lion' (5:8), was about to devour the Church.
"It is thought, possibly, that Peter may have written this letter immediately after Paul's martyrdom, about A.D. 66, and sent it by Silas (5:12), who had been one of Peter's helpers, to these Churches which Paul had founded, to encourage them to bear up under their Suffering, Silas personally carrying the news of Paul's martyrdom to Paul's Churches.
"Thus the Epistle was born in the atmosphere of Suffering, shortly before Peter's own martyrdom, exhorting Christians not to think it strange that they had to Suffer, reminding them that Christ did His work by Suffering."

∙ 8y agoExactly when this letter was written cannot be established, but it was clearly not written by the disciple Peter. It says nothing about the ethical teachings or the miracles Jesus is reported to have performed, nothing about his birth, baptism, trial, crucifixion, and death. It is considered to be from early in the second century, and we know it was written before 135 CE, when Polycarp referred to the epistle in his Letter to the Philippians.

Books considered to have been written in the second century include: Acts of the Apostles, John's Gospel, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, Titus, 1 Peter, 2 Peter, Jude and Revelation.

What is First Peter in the Bible?
AnswerThe book known as The First Epistle General of Peter, or either First Peter or 1 Peter, is an epistle or letter believed to have been written by an anonymous author and attributed to the Apostle Peter. It must have been written before 135 CE, since Polycarp refers to 1 Peter in his Letter to the Philippians. First Peter clearly had a different author than 2 Peter, which was written somewhat later. First Peter is considered by scholars to more closely reflect the theology of Paul, than that of the other 'Petrine' epistles, 2 Peter and Jude.
