"On the Christology of the Gospel of Peter"

By Peter M. Head, Vigiliae Christianae 46.3 (1992) 209-224.

This is the article they are still arguing about. Is the Gospel of Peter docetic or not? I argue that it is more "popular" than docetic and demonstrate the correlation between popular martyrological concerns and the redaction of the Gospel of Peter. This is based on the Akhmim manuscript in particular, and I would just like to say that I never travelled to Cairo to see the manuscript itself. Images, however, are now online: (but when I wrote this important scholarly paper Al Gore had not yet invented the internet).
