Peter In Rome? - Chapter VII - David J Albert - June 1973

David J Albert

We come now in our study to the time when the traditions concerning Peter and Rome assume their most definite and precise form. The "Age of Shadows," as Hurlbut calls the earlier times, surprisingly becomes an age of light and clear vision into the matters which were before obscure. It is from the beginning of this century that we have the positive statements of that most illustrious of all church historians, Eusebius. We also have Eusebius' Latin contemporary, Lactantius, and later, Jerome. We will complete our study with these writers, inasmuch as with them the evolution of tradition regarding Peter and Rome takes its final form. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
