St. Peter, His Name and His Office, as Set Forth in Holy Scripture

"St. Peter, His Name and His Office, as Set Forth in Holy Scripture" by T. W. Allies is a deep examination of St. Peter's place in the scriptures, viewed through a 19th-century theological lens. The book dives into the idea that St. Peter held a primary role among the apostles, supporting the claim that he forms the bedrock of the Christian Church. Allies uses scripture and historical interpretations to explain the power and duties given to Peter, influenced by Father Passaglia's views on St. Peter's special rights. It stresses the importance of St. Peter's one-of-a-kind position, highlighting his name as the "Rock" on which the Church is built, laying the foundation for the concept that Peter's authority is ongoing, carried on by those who followed him, illustrating the necessity of easily seen leadership in the Church.
