If James is judged harshly for writing to the "
12 tribes of the dispersion," then we ought to be fair and likewise judge Peter for writing to the "
chosen pilgrims of the dispersion." Both have written to those scattered Jews beyond the borders of Israel in Gentile lands. Was it not common knowledge that Peter was "entrusted with the gospel to the circumcision?" (Gal 2.7) So it would be entirely appropriate for Peter to write to the scattered Jews (aka the diaspora) throughout the earth.
Perhaps WL should have cast aspersions over Peter also, as he did to James. Did not the preparations for the Peter Life-Study give him ulcers?
