Peter 2/e

Oscar Cullmann (1902-1999) taught Greek, New Testament, and Early Christianity at the University of Strausbourg, the University of Basel, and the Sarbonne in Paris. He is best known for his many books and prolific speaking about Christianity and history. Upon his death at age ninety-six, the World Council of Churches honored him for his extensive ecumenical work.

Here is a book that offers a fair and well-balanced approach to the problems considered. It is worth reading. It is worth a place in the pastor's library. -- "Review & Expositor" Whether or not one agrees with the author's conclusions, this book is important as an attempt to do equal justice to the archaeological, historical, exegetical, and theological aspects of the life of Peter and his significance for the apostolic and later Church. -- "Journal of Biblical Literature"
