No price on dust-jacket flap, presumed History Book Club issue, first edition, first printing with number line intact. Written by renowned historian Michael Grant, who has written more than 20 books about the ancient world, this biography of Saint Peter is approached with the sober, objective analysis afforded any other historical figure. Drawing on the most recent advances in archaeology and anthropology, as well as his extensive knowledge of literature, phiolosophy, and religion, Grant paints a portrait of Peter as a strong and passionate leader. Though fully cognizant of the problems involved with writing a biography of such a shadowy and elusive figure, Grant never-the-less succeeds in giving us a triumph of classical scholarship.
