The epistle known as the First Epistle of Peter, or гид по Каппадокии 1 Peter, is addressed in part to Cappadocia, but scholars say that the epistle was not really written by the apostle Peter.

They say that 1 Peter was really an encyclical to all churches, rather than the named churches and used the name of Peter to ensure acceptance of the message in the letter. We do not know who rally wrote 1 Peter, but it was probably written early in the second century.
