Bible Note: Doc, I'm also reading Fox's. Something caught my eye early on which puzzles me. Peter, fleeing Nero's persecution, meets Jesus at the gate of Rome: "...'Lord, whither dost Thou go?' To whom he answered and said , 'I am come again to be crucified." Peter is subsequently crucified opside-down because "he was (he said) unworthy to be crucified after the same form and manner as the Lord was." Foxe's account seems at odds with contemporary teaching on 2 points: 1) Peter is in Rome. 2) Christ is to be re-crucified. Not only does Foxe locate Peter in Rome, he's also at variance with contemporary teaching on the once-for-all sufficiency of Christ's sacrifice. What do you make of this? Colin |
