Question

What is four importance of Peter

Answer 1

In Acts, Peter is portrayed as a model disciple for others to emulate. He is also important because the gospels describe Jesus as calling Peter his “rock” upon which the future church would be built. He was the first to begin preaching to the gentiles.

Answer 2

The Importance of Peter in Early Christianity continues this legacy. It is a small book, accessible to entry-level readers, comprised of short chapters with helpful subheadings and clear conclusions (though the choice of endnotes rather than footnotes was, for this reader, more distracting than simplifying). The book seems intended for a broad audience also in the sense that it often suggests rather than assumes the historicity of the New Testament.
