These investigations will be followed by a detailed analysis of a theoretical community that might have valued this text and a subsequent theory regarding its date and historical setting. More specifically, I will show that Acts Pet12 Apost. is primarily made up of a Christian-Gnostic allegory of the ascent of the soul which underwent a later adaptation. This adaptation shifts the center of gravity from otherworldly escapism to a mysticism grounded by the earth-based pastoral ministry.  aActs of Peter and the Twelve Apostles -- Criticism, interpretation, etc4 uhttps://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/8/13/51sg6jKqvbL._SX320_BO1_204_203_200_.jpgyCover Image
