After Jesus, Peter is the most frequently mentioned individual both in the Gospels and in the New Testament as a whole. He was the leading disciple, the "rock" on which Jesus would build his church. How can we know so little about this formative figure of the early church? World-renowned New Testament scholar Markus Bockmuehl introduces the New Testament Peter by asking how first- and second-century sources may be understood through the prism of "living memory" among the disciples of the apostolic generation and the students of those disciples. He argues that early Christian memory of Peter underscores his central role as a bridge-building figure holding together the diversity of first-century Christianity. Drawing on more than a decade of research, Bockmuehl applies cutting-edge scholarship to the question of the history and traditions of this important but strangely elusive figure. Bockmuehl provides fresh insight into the biblical witness and early Christian tradition that New Testament students and professors will value. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

The author uses the methodology of the study of living memory of a notable character in order to develop a portrait of Simon Peter. He explores the memory of Simon Peter in the West and in the East, analyzing both New Testament as well as second century Christian witnesses to describe how Peter was understood as portrayed.
Even though the author maintains much of the consensus regarding lower Biblical criticism, his portrayal of Peter ultimately validates many of the traditions and past understanding regarding him. Peter is envisioned as a credible first-century Jew from Bethsaida, a more Gentile area, who moved to Capernaum and thus could be conversant in both the Jewish and Greek worlds, a prominent leader in the early Jesus movement who denied his Lord but was "converted" and established in a pastoral role by Him, remembered as having been in Galilee, Jerusalem, Antioch of Syria, Corinth, and ultimately meeting his end in Rome.
The author writes cogently and provides a great resource for studies in Simon Peter.
