Peter in NT and Chris Antiguit

Catalog description

Few of the disciples of Jesus have created such a vivid and lasting impression on their contemporaries or upon history and theology as has Simon Peter. Through an attentive dialogue with the documents of the New Testament, the first two Christian centuries and the witness of the archaeological record, participants in this course attempt to come to know more profoundly the fisherman from Galilee. In doing so, they make use of the best tools of biblical study, historical investigation and theological inquiry to understand Peter and the basis of his ongoing role in the Christian faith for both individual disciples and the community of faith.
