Helen K. Bond,Larry W. Hurtado: Peter in Early Christianity

Peter in Early Christianity


Description

After playing second fiddle to the apostle Paul for a long, long time, Peter has received increased scholarly attention of late. This book builds on the recent resurgence of interest in the apostle Peter. Nineteen internationally prominent scholars of early Christian history here examine and reassess the historical Peter and his significance in Christian texts from the first three centuries. Giving due attention to archaeological data and recent scholarship, the contributors offer a comprehensive view of Peter through analysis of both New Testament texts and later, noncanonical literature. Markus Bockmuehl concludes the volume by considering present-day questions about the role of Peter, popes, and church leadership.

"A successful mix of Gone Girl and John Le Carre ...Events speed to a spectacular denouement." (Mail on Sunday, Thriller of the Week). This collection of four stories by the writer George Steiner called one of the masters of European fiction is, as longtime G: a Novel free pdf fans of Thomas Bernhard would expect, bleakly comic and inspiringly rancorous. The subject of his stories vary: in one, Goethe summons Wittgenstein to discuss the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus; Montaigne: A Story (in 22 Installments) tells of a young man sealing himself in a tower to read; Reunion, meanwhile, satirizes that very impulse to escape; and the final story rounds out the collection by making Bernhard himself a victim, persecuted by his greatest enemy his very homeland of Austria. Underpinning all these variously comic, tragic, and bitingly satirical excursions is Bernhard s abiding interest in, and deep knowledge of, the philosophy of doubt. Bernhard s work can seem off-putting on first acquaintance, as he suffers no fools and offers no hand to assist the unwary reader. But those who make the effort to engage with Bernhard on his own uncompromising terms will discover a writer with powerful comic gifts, penetrating insight into the failings and delusions of modern life, and an unstinting desire to tell the whole, unvarnished, unwelcome truth. Start here, readers; the rewards are great."
