The Gospel of Peter is a religious text that presents an alternative account of the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It was discovered in the late 19th century in a tomb in Egypt and is believed to have been written in the 2nd century CE. The text is attributed to the apostle Peter, but scholars debate its authenticity.The book contains five chapters, with the first three chapters describing the events leading up to the crucifixion of Jesus. The fourth chapter details the crucifixion itself, while the fifth chapter describes the resurrection and ascension of Jesus.The Gospel of Peter differs from the canonical gospels in several ways. For example, it emphasizes the role of Pilate and the Roman authorities in the crucifixion of Jesus, and it portrays Jesus as a divine being who is not subject to physical suffering. Additionally, the text includes several apocryphal elements, such as the appearance of a talking cross and the resurrection of several Old Testament figures.Despite its controversial nature, The Gospel of Peter has been influential in the development of early Christian theology and has been studied by scholars for over a century. This edition of the text is translated by Bernhard Pick, a prominent biblical scholar and theologian.THIS 20 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Paralipomena: Remains of Gospels and Sayings of Christ, by Bernhard Pick.
