Life and Witness Of Peter- The

Who was Peter and what was his true stature in the early church? For Protestants at least- Peter seems caught between two caricatures: the rustic fisherman of Galilee and the author of two lesser New Testament letters. And in both cases he is overshadowed by Paul. In The Life and Witness of Peter- Larry Helyer seeks to reinstate this neglected and underestimated apostle to his rightful stature as an early Christian leader and faithful witness to Christ. Reconstructing Peter's life- theology and legacy from evidence in 1 and 2 Peter- the Gospels- Acts- Paul's letters- and texts from the early church- Helyer renders a great service for students of the New Testament. We are introduced to Peter the eyewitness who stands behind much of Mark's Gospel- Peter the preacher who lends deep credibility to the account of Acts- and Peter the letter-writer whose words glow with spiritual intelligence. Along the way we are rewarded with a careful analysis of prominent theological themes in Peter's letters. And we learn much about the traditions- legends and legacy of Peter in the post-apostolic era
