Peter: Apostle of Contrasts

Peter Apostle of Contrasts is a character study of the man Simon Bar Jonah who, after experiencing the majesty and power of the living Christ would never be the same.

Of all the personalities in the New Testament the Apostle Peter stands out.

In a word, he was a man of contrasts, all the more attractive for his constant mistakes and forgiveness, his boisterous and impetuous enthusiasm, and for his good intentions and self-confidence that so soon seemed to disappear.

At first glance, Peter seems to be a surprising choice for the man Jesus chose to be founding leader of His church, but Peter justified his choice by an example that has inspired and encouraged Christians through the centuries.
