Perkins describes the search for the historical Peter, and the
influence his image has had, in Roman Catholic and Protestant
ecumenical discussions. Pointing to portrayals of Peter in the
Pauline and Johannine traditions, the synoptic Gospels, and the
Book of Acts, Perkins argues that precisely because there is no
single Petrine tradition in the New Testament, the apostle might
serve as a unifying figure for incongruous forms of Christianity.
Perkins argues that Peter should be viewed as a harmonizing figure
who captures the Christian imagination not only because he is the
most prominent of Jesus' disciples, but also because his weaknesses
and strengths present a character accessible to the average
Christian.
