<br/><br/> In The Life and Witness of Peter Larry Helyer seeks to reinstate this neglected and underestimated apostle to this rightful stature as an early Christian leader and faithful witness to Christ. Arguing for a more confident assessment of the apostle, Helyer pulls Peter out from the long shadow of Paul.
