   "Cassidy's study contains many fresh and helpful insights." - Review of Biblical Literature "An excellent text for intermediate to advanced courses on the Gospels and parish study programs." - The Midwest Book Review ". . . an interesting way for students of the New Testament to probe more deeply into its rich texts and complex history." -The Bible Today "In his new work, Richard Cassidy undertakes a fresh look at the apostle Peter in each of the four canonical gospels, with the assistance of narrative analysis.
   ...
   Richard Cassidy has good tools to do that: narrative criticism and reception history.
   ...
   Meticulously positioned within the discipline of narrative criticism, Cassidy's fine study of Peter in the fourfold Gospel tradition highlights the crucial role played by this imperfect disciple in all four canonical Gospels, and brings to the fore the 'sheer gratuitousness' of Peter's call and his 'justification by grace'."
   ...
   "Using the category of ‘paradigmatic readers,' Richard Cassidy combines insightful narrative-critical readings of the role of Peter in each of the four gospels with an imaginative recreation of how they might have actually been received by real readers in the Pauline ekklesiai at Roman Philippi.
   ...
   Especially novel is the experiment in ‘reception criticism.' Presupposing that the Gospels were all written for general circulation around the churches, Cassidy asks how each Gospel's portrayal of Peter would have been received in the church at Philippi.
   ...
   By focusing on each gospel in turn Richard Cassidy draws out the character of Peter from each narrative context with striking clarity.
   ...
   "Is Peter Catholic, or Protestant, or Jewish, or ... ? Richard Cassidy sketches a picture in his book beyond every confessional claim.
   ...
   "Richard Cassidy once again demonstrates his skills as a careful reader of texts and an engaging and effective teacher.
   ...
   ""Richard Cassidy has written a helpful study of the person of Peter, as presented in the New Testament. Adopting bold approaches to the nature of the Gospels and their readership, he develops a reading of Mark, Luke, Matthew and John that is as attractive as it is challenging. His final speculation on the arrival of the Petrine tradition and then the four gospels in Philippi is as provocative as it is stimulating.""
