• Sommario/riassunto: The Acts of Peter provides a window into the processes that shaped early Christian narrative. This book looks at the sources and subsequent versions of the Acts and argues that 'transmissional fluidity' - the existence of the work in several versions or multiforms - is a characteristic the Acts share with many related works.
