THE APOCALYPSE OF PETER A JEWISH CHRISTIAN APOCALYPSE FROM THE TIME OF BAR KOKHBA Dans cette etude, I' Apocalypse de Pierre, trap longtemps negligee par les critiques, apres une mise en contexte litteraire et historique, est presen- tee en insistant sur les nombreuses thematiques concernant Ie jugement eschatologique. The Apocalypse of Peter deserves to be rescued from the extreme scholarly neglect it has suffered. This is not because it is a work of any great literary or theological merit. But, of course, texts of historical importance for our understanding of the history of religion frequently have no great literary or theological merit. INTROD{!JCTION 1. Why study the Apocalypse of Peter? The Apocalypse of Peter dese~es to be studied for the follow- ing reasons: 1.- It is probably the most neglected of all Christian works written before 150 C.E. It has, of course, suffered the general stigma and neglect accorded to apocryphal works by comparison with those in the canon of the New Test~ment or even those assigned to the category of the Apostolic Fathers. But whereas other Christian apocryphal literature of the earliest period - such as apocryphal Gospels or the Ascension of Isaiah -have very recently been studied in some depth and are beginning to be rescued as significant evidenQe of the early development of Christianity, the Apocalypse of Peter has been given very little serious scholarly attention. Sureltj for those who are interested in Christian origins any Christian work from the first century or so of Christian history deserves the closest study. Apocrypha 5,1994, p. 7-111 R R. BAUCKHAM 2.- In section II of this book I shall argue that the Apocalypse of Peter derives from Palestinian Jewish Christianity during the Bar Kokhba war of 132-135 C.E. This makes it a very rare example of an extant work deriving from Palestinian Jewish Christianity in the period after the New Testament literature. It deserves an important place in any attempt to consider the very obscure matter of what happened to Jewish Christianity in Palestine in the period after 70 C.E. 3.- Outside Palestinian Jewish Christianity, the Apocalypse of Peter evidently became a very popular work in the church as a whole, from the second to the fourth centuries 1. It seems to have been widely read in east and west. In some circles at least it was treated as Scripture. Along with the Shepherd of Hermas, it was probably the work which came closest to being i:ncluded in the canon of the New Testament while being eventually excluded. After an early period of popularity, however, it almost disappear- ed. This must have been largely because in its major function - as a revelation of the fate of human beings after death -it was superseded by other apocalypses: in the Latin west and in the Coptic and Syriac speaking churches of the east by the Apocalypse of Paul, in the Greek east by the Apocalypse of the Virgin Mary. For a number of reasons these proved in the long run more acceptable, and the Apocalypse of Peter very nearly perished altogether. But the fact that for two or three centuries it seems to have appealed strongly to the Christian religious imagination makes it an important historical source. 4.- The Apocalypse of Peter preserves Jewish apocalyptic traditions. Because of the prevalent artificial distinction between the Jewish apocalypses and the Christian apocalypses, this is the respect in which the Apocalypse of Peter has been neglected even more than in other respects. But there is in fact relatively little that is distinctively Christian about the Apocalypse of Pete!: Much of its content reproduces Jewish apocalyptic traditions. It can therefore be used, of course with appropriate caution, as a source for Jewish apocalyptic ideas of the early second century C.E. And it reminds us how very much Judaism and Christianity had in common at that period. 1. R. BAUCKHAM, «The Apocalypse of Peter: An Account of Research », in W.

This is only one aspect of the way in which the Christian apocryphal literature needs to be studied. Many Christian apocryphal works (and the same is true of Jewish apocryphal literature) are best understood as developing literature: works which developed as they were transmitted over many centuries in uploads/Litterature/ apocrypha-5-1994-pdf.pdf
