Saint Peter, the apostle

The author has brought together and skilfully arranged all the scattered facts that tradition, archaeology and the New Testament narratives provide. The result is a vivid and dramatic record of the development of a simple but impetuous soul into the majestic saint who was to be called The Rock. Many mysteries about Saint Peter are probed and explained: the motivation of his denials of his Lord, his friendship and disagreement with Saint Paul, his sorrowful decision to separate the Church from the Synagogue in which it was cradled and to which it owed so much.
