The Jesus of the First Christian Sermon [2 pages]
by David Maas rated at 1.0 (5 votes so far)
The Christology of Peter in this first sermon is relatively simple. He treats Jesus as a genuine human being from Nazareth who actually died on the cross. Nowhere in his sermon does Peter hint at the idea of Jesus being a Divine being or as having existed before his birth.
