Deeply rooted in Scripture, Jesus, Peter and the Keys will increase your understanding in an area of faith that still divides many Christians: The role of the Papacy. This is the first and only book that proves, without doubt, that the Papacy was designed by Jesus and is being carried out as He intended. This landmark work brings together information from Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox sources to give readers of all Christian faiths a clear understanding of the office of St. Peter and his successors. The authors do an excellent job of examining scriptural evidence and historical data and present their case in easy-to-understand terms both scholars and layman can enjoy. Also has an Imprimatur.
