Death Of The Apostle Peter


History and tradition records that the Apostle Peter was crucified upside down upon a Roman cross. He supposedly died at the hand of the Roman Emperor Nero by crucifixion. Feeling unworthy to be crucified in the same manner as Jesus Christ, Simon Peter requested to be hung upside down during his crucifixion.

Is this fact or fiction?

Could the historical writings of early Church fathers be incorrect? Could it be that his death by crucifixion was fabricated to accomplish some other purpose?

What does the Bible say?

As a matter of fact, the Bible does NOT agree with this commonly accepted view that the Apostle Peter was crucified. In this article, the record of his death is examined and a different event is observed.

If indeed the Word of God is inspired and if it is interpreted correctly, then the true Biblical record of his death trumps the writings of our early Church fathers...

The eBook

It is for these reasons that we long for a biography of the people we love including their birth, their life, and their death.

In this eBook "Death of the Apostle Peter" the death of the Apostle Peter is examined in light of the scripture as we examine - - -

After reading and understanding our Lord's prophecy concerning the Apostle Peter's death, we can arrive at an accurate scenario as to how our beloved Apostle Peter died.

In another epistle written by Peter himself, he refers to his impending death. Again his manner of death agrees with the prophecy of Jesus..

The death of the Apostle Peter has application to Christians today. This is why it is important why Jesus told how he would die. The Death and shed blood of our Lord Jesus Christ upon a Roman Cross provides salvation to us. But Peter's death reveals our hope, encouragement, and purpose to face death in accordance with God's will.
