Preaching of Peter
Date of composition
- Late 100s at the latest, since it is mentioned by Irenaeus (d. c. 202).
Type of Apocrypha (heretical or in error (made up))
- One quote mentiones a "perfect knowledge," which is a gnostic idea and, therefore, heretical.
Length
- All we have are various quotes from Clement of Alexandria, maybe 2 double-spaced pages.
Summary
- One summary is not possible since we have different quotes.
Noteworthy from the book
- It warns against worshipping and living like Gentiles and Jews. For example, it states, "We are Christians, who, as a third race, worship in a new way."
- It states that the Apostles, when reading the Old Testament (called "books of the prophets"), were able to discern the many verses that prophesied Christ.
