Simon Peter, an ordinary fisherman who became one of the most influential apostles of Jesus, left behind a legacy that inspires us to learn from and to apply to our lives. This 20 volume collection represents some of the most significant and insightful studies on Simon Peter from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries by notable authors such as F.B. Meyer, J.R. MacDuff, and William M. Taylor. They explore the life of Peter, discuss his martyrdom, and debate his role in Rome. This collection is essential for students, scholars, pastors, historians, teachers, or anyone interested in studying the character of Simon Peter.

Authors Paul Francis and Spencer Jones argue that the Church of Rome is the largest and most famous church in Christendom and the mother of Christianity. Their aim is to broach the argument for the other side, to pray earnestly for the reunion of the Church of England with the Church of Rome, and to discuss at the proper time and place the ways and means by which a consummation may be achieved. Their argument sums up what is taught in Catholic apologetics about St. Peter.
