Peter In Rome? - Chapter IV - June 1973

David J Albert

Having examined the Biblical record regarding the likelihood of Peter's sojourn at Rome, we turn now to the literary evidence with surprising results. While a close study of the New Testament does nothing to establish Peter's residence at the Roman capital, and in fact leads to the opposite conclusion, the writings of the Ante-Nicene and Post- Nicene Fathers lead with increasing certainty to the conclusions that Peter came to Rome at an early date (in the reign of Claudius), that he conducted his ministry there for twenty-five years, and that he died there in Rome, under Nero, on the same day as the Apostle Paul. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
