Description

Martin Hengel challenges conventional views of Saint Peter's role in Christian history. He argues that Peter was not just an important figure but the central pillar of both Jewish and Gentile Christian communities.

The author examines how each of the four gospels highlights Peter's foundational role, as well as his message as an eyewitness of Christ, his theology, and his work as an organizer and mission strategist. Hengel also explores the contributions of married apostles to the spread of the Christian message.
