Reviews
'Foster must be thanked for dealing with this interesting piece of writing not only in relation to a better understanding of the canonical Goespels, but, furthermore, for respecting the Gospel of Peter as a significant witness to the literary world of early Christians.'
Thomas J.Kraus, The Expository Times 122 (10)
'einen sehr fundierten Kommentar[...]sowohl am EvPetr interessierten Lesern als auch Experten einen tiefgreifenden Einblick in das EvPetr und seine Forschungsprobleme ermöglicht. Die besonderen Stärken des Kommentars liegen auf dem Gebiet der Textkritik und -rekonstruktion sowie der Forschungsgeschichte. Die ausführliche Auseinandersetzung
und Systematisierung fast der gesamten bislang erschienenen Sekundärliteratur zum EvPetr ist vielleicht der größte Schatz, den Fosters Kommentar birgt. Daneben zeichnet er sich durch eine klare und schlüssige Strukturierung, eine gute Übersichtlichkeit und exzellente Indices aus. [...]Fosters Kommentar [ist] ein sehr hilfreiches und unverzichtbares Buch für die Arbeit am EvPetr.'
