A Portrait of Peter: Training, Leadership and Humble Service

Armin J. Panning

A Portrait of Peter presents much of what Scripture says about the apostle. Professor Panning shows how the Lord trained a fisherman to be a Christian leader and then placed him in just the right spot to guide his church during its early years. The author demonstrates the practical value that Peter's life has for today's church. It includes discussions of Peter's two epistles and to the traditions that have accumulated over time regarding his life. Study questions at the end of each chapter also make the book effective for personal and group Bible study. Readers may find additional value in its companion volume, A Portrait of Paul (15N0685). Papercover. Size, 6 x 9 inches. 94 pages. Published 2002.
