Acts of Peter

Have you ever wondered why the earliest Christians risked everything for a story that the Roman Empire tried to silence?

In The Acts of Peter, you are invited to explore one of the most influential yet mysterious apocryphal works of the ancient world. This text provided the early Church with its most vivid imagery of the Apostle Peter’s later years, his miraculous deeds, and his ultimate martyrdom in Rome.

It follows Peter as he arrives in Rome to find the Christian community led astray by the dark wonders of Simon Magus, leading to a series of dramatic confrontations that test the limits of faith.

What You’ll Discover in This Modern Edition:

• The Confrontation with Simon Magus — The legendary battle of miracles between Peter and the sorcerer.
• The Famous "Quo Vadis" Vision — Peter meeting a vision of Jesus on the road as he flees persecution.
• The Theology of the Cross — Peter’s famous request for an inverted crucifixion.

Discover the courage and conviction that laid the foundations of Western thought.
