Peter: Prince of Apostles

1927. A study in the history and tradition of Christianity. The purpose of this book is twofold: to give the ordinary reader an interest in the first days of Christianity by an endeavor to portray the Apostle who took the lead at its inception and acted as a pioneer in its diffusion. At the same time it is hoped that it may appeal to scholars to study the problem it suggests, namely, how far tradition is to be respected where direct historical material is scanty.
