Isbn: 9798185765272 - apostle peter between east and west: did the apostle die in rome? antioch, the vatican, and christianity’s oldest unsolved mystery (4 risultati)

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Everyone knows where the Apostle Peter died. Or thinks they do.Beneath the high altar of Saint Peter's Basilica lies the tomb traditionally identified as that of the fisherman from Galilee-the disciple who denied Jesus, became the Rock, and was later remembered as the first pope.But far to the east, Antioch preserves another memory.There, in the city where the followers of Jesus were first called Christians, ancient Eastern traditions remember Peter not primarily as the Apostle of Rome but as a missionary, founder, teacher, and perhaps even a martyr of the East.So where did Peter's final journey really end?Apostle Peter Between East and West follows the most prominent of Jesus's disciples from the shores of Galilee to Jerusalem, Antioch, Asia Minor, Babylon, and finally Rome. Drawing on the New Testament, the early Church Fathers, Syriac traditions, apocryphal writings, archaeology, and the excavations beneath the Vatican, the book examines the evidence behind one of Christianity's oldest unresolved mysteries.Did Peter truly die in Rome? What does the archaeology beneath Saint Peter's Basilica actually prove? Why do Eastern Christian traditions remember a different Peter? How did a married Jewish fisherman become the foundation of the papacy? And why has Antioch's claim so often been overshadowed by Rome?This is not an attack on the Catholic tradition nor a sensational conspiracy theory. It is a balanced historical investigation that takes Rome seriously without allowing it to silence the East.Two cities. Two ancient memories. One apostle.For readers interested in biblical history, Christian origins, archaeology, the early Church, and the hidden conflicts behind familiar traditions, this book restores Peter to the full world in which he lived-and leaves the final judgment to the reader.
