Of course, it is so obvious. How could I miss it. Whenever I write a letter, I always open with “William Shakespeare, writer.”

IT, its likely Kosta is right. Tell me though, why does the authorship of 1 Peter make a difference to you?
Of course, it says. The author was intending his audience to believe it was Apostle Peter writing.
Unfortinately, historical evidence shows that 1 Peter was written towards the end of the century, when Peter was already dead (65-67 AD).
There were simply no systematic persecutions of Christians in Asia Minor during Peter's lifetime. They appear some 25 years after his death.
