Note: Reading ease score: 18.9 (College graduate level). Very difficult to read.
Summary: "The Gospel According to Peter: A Study" by Walter Richard Cassels is a theological study written in the late 19th century. This work explores an early Christian text attributed to the Apostle Peter, delving into its historical significance and implications for understanding early Christian doctrine. The book discusses various fragments of this text, providing scholarly analysis of its contents and its relationship with both canonical and non-canonical Christian writings. At the start of the study, the author lays the groundwork by examining the context of ancient Egypt and significant archaeological discoveries that have shed light on early Christian manuscripts. Cassels discusses the 1886-87 discovery of Greek manuscripts in Akhmīm, highlighting the Gospel according to Peter among them, and its presentation of the trial, crucifixion, and resurrection of Jesus. The opening portion captures a vivid narrative of these events, differing in detail from the canonical Gospels and raising questions about its theological implications and the nature of the relationship between this text and established Christian teachings.
