An Interview With St. Peter By John Philips
St. Peter played a prominent part in the early Church. The book of Acts records several of his early sermons. He authored two books in the Holy Scriptures. A study of his sayings casts much light on his attitude toward the Church and its teachings. How would he have answered questions both Catholics and Protestants ask in this ecumenical age? We have written and addressed some, as it were, to St. Peter. His replies are all taken from his own speeches and writings as we have them in the Holy Scr9iptures. We have used only the approved Confraternity edition of the Scriptures in giving St. Peter's replies.
Could you tell us simply, St. Peter, how we can be saved from our sins? "Whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved" (Acts 2:21) "Set your hope completely upon that grace which is brought to you in the revelation of Jesus Christ" (I St. Peter 1:13) "To him all the prophets bear witness, that through his name all who believe in him may receive forgiveness of sins." (Acts 10:43).
