Simon Peter in scripture and memory

This record holds extracts from the website (https://simonpeter.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/), supplying supplementary ancient source material for the following two books:

• Bockmuehl, Markus. 2010. <i>The Remembered Peter in Ancient Reception and Modern Debate</i>. Wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen zum Neuen Testament 262. Tübingen: Mohr Siebeck.

• Bockmuehl, Markus. 2012. <i>Simon Peter in Scripture and Memory</i>. Grand Rapids: Baker Academic.

The aim is to facilitate access to some of the primary source texts illustrating the profile of Simon Peter in the early church.

Use the PDFs to explore the evidence from five successive historical periods or “Generations” of memory related to Peter (a designation of convenience explained in both volumes). Note also the separate PDFs providing a Key to the Abbreviations and a partial reference bibliography of sources cited.

Not all sources listed here are discussed in detail in the two books, and the inclusion of material under “Generation" 3 and especially 4 is deliberately eclectic and illustrative.

For biblical texts and/or translations, only references are provided. Original languages are here limited to Greek and Latin; if time and resources permit, others may be added in the future.
