Peter and the Prophetic Word: The Theology of Prophecy Traced through Peter's Sermons and Epistles
While much work has been done on the theology of individual books in the Bible, very few have attempted to develop a Petrine theology that utilizes both 1 and 2 Peter as well as Peter's speeches in Acts. If, however, both the epistles and the discourse material in Acts stem from a common source...

| Summary: | While much work has been done on the theology of individual books in the Bible, very few have attempted to develop a Petrine theology that utilizes both 1 and 2 Peter as well as Peter's speeches in Acts. If, however, both the epistles and the discourse material in Acts stem from a common source, it stands to reason that one should be able to trace certain theological themes throughout and that these themes, when viewed in light of the Petrine material as a whole, would form a coherent theology. This essay examines the theme of prophecy in the two public sermons of Peter in Acts 2 and 3 and the two Petrine epistles. After examining the four units individually, this essay attempts to mold them into a "Petrine theology of prophecy" while also noting how this could potentially affect other areas of theology. |
