| Summary: | This is the second of Markus Bockmuehl's two books on the apostle Peter (following The Remembered Peter; Tübingen: Mohr Siebeck, 2010), arising out of over a decade of research on this central figure in the history of Christianity. Bockmuehl draws extensively on the research of the first volume to offer a less technical companion piece, engaging both exegetically with the NT's presentation of the apostle and historically with the evidence of his "living memory" in the second century. Bockmuehl's aim is to offer fresh insight on the historical figure of Peter, and to demonstrate that he has always been known only as the church's Peter - in other words, that "history's Simon Peter, like history's Jesus of Nazareth, is from the start always already embedded in communal memory and interpretation" (xv). |
