Saint Peter the Apostle

De: William Thomas Walsh

Narrado por: Tom Sleeker

St. Peter, also known as Simon Peter of Cephas, is considered the first Pope of Rome, yet St. Peter had humble beginnings as a fisherman. Later he became one of the 12 Apostles of Jesus. He was ordained by Jesus Christ as "the Rock of My Church" (Matt 16:17). Jesus said further, "Simon son of Jonah, you are blessed!"

"Because it was no human agency that revealed this to you but my father in heaven. So I now say to you: You are Peter and on this rock I will build my church. And the gates of the underworld can never overpower it."

In this powerful narrative the author, William Thomas Walsh (1891 - 1949), a Catholic historian, educator and author, goes on to tell, in depth, the full life and historical details concerning St. Peter; a compelling story that will help listeners grow closer to this founding father of the Church.

Superb

Highly recommended to all followers of Christ and His apostles. Long but full of description.

An edifying and informative account.

This is definitely worth a listen. Primarily biblically based with supplements from authoritative historical sources.
