The Early Reception and Appropriation of the Apostle Peter (60-800 CE)
The Anchors of the Fisherman
Series:
Volume Editor:
The apostle Peter gradually became one of the most famous figures of the ancient world. His almost undisputed reputation made the disciple an exquisite anchor by which new practices within and outside the Church could be established, including innovations in fields as diverse as architecture, art, cult, epigraphy, liturgy, poetry and politics. This interdisciplinary volume inquires the way in which the figure of Peter functioned as an anchor for various people from different periods and geographical areas. The concept of Anchoring Innovation is used to investigate the history of the reception of the apostle Peter from the first century up to Charlemagne, revealing as much about Peter as about the context in which this reception took place.
Roald Dijkstra, Ph.D. (2014), Radboud University Nijmegen, is postdoctoral assistant at KU Leuven. He co-authored Peter in Rome about the early Roman reception of the apostle (Garant, 2019) and published The Apostles in Early Christian Art and Poetry (Brill, 2016).

"(...) this volume does make important historiographical contributions about the development of religious figures in a changing urban and political environment. The conceptual basis of anchoring can serve well as a model for studies ranging from the reception of religious texts to the developing role(s) of institutions in urban life and the Anchoring Innovation series seems poised to produce volumes of equal historiographical importance." - Andrew Steck, in: BMCR 2021.10.55
"'Les exposés sont clairs et précis, et ... on ressort convaincu de la majorité des raisonnement exposés. La plupart des auteurs inscrivent leur discours et positionnent leurs idées par rapport à lâidée directrice de lâouvrage, celle dâ« Anchoring Innovation ». Il en résulte un très bel aperçu de la construction de la figure de Pierre et des mécanismes dâancrage dans lâAntiquité (tardive) qui y sont liés." - Charles Wastiau, in: Anabases 2022
