Saint Peter

Biblical scholar Stephen Binz takes readers on a pilgrimage following the imperfect and flawed Peter from Galilee to Rome--from the spot where Peter first dropped his nets to follow Jesus to the place where he gave his life out of love for his Lord. Through sound scholarship, first-hand experiences at places of pilgrimage, and spiritual reflection, Binz helps us embrace the fact that God works through broken human beings to accomplish truly beautiful things. Ultimately, this book reminds us that the papacy--from Peter to the present day--has always been filled by imperfect people through whom God chooses to advance his Church.
