Preaching of Peter

A work, probably of the late second century, purporting to contain a collection of Peter's sermons written by the apostle himself. No copy of it has survived, but there are fairly extensive quotations in [[Clement of Alexandria]]* and Origen.* It seems to have been an orthodox book, which Origen considered might have been genuine, and to have originated in Egypt. It had an apologetic purpose to show the superiority of Christianity to Judaism and paganism. Christians find Christ to be the Law and the Word, and they worship God through Him with direct and perfect knowledge.
