 Apocalypse of Peter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Apocalypse of Peter is framed as a vision first of heaven, and then of hell, granted to Peter, the favourite figure of the Orthodox church (as opposed to James the Just, favourite of the Jewish Christians).
Note that another text, given the modern title the Apocalypse of Peter, was found in the Nag Hammadi library.
The fragment states: "the Apocalypses also of John and Peter only do we receive, which some among us would not have read in church." The original is ambiguous whether both books of Revelations were meant, or just Peter's.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Peter, Prince of the Apostles
Peter was one of the three Apostles (with James and John) who were with Christ on certain special occasions the raising of the daughter of Jairus from the dead (Mark 5:37; Luke 8:51); the Transfiguration of Christ (Matthew 17:1; Mark 9:1; Luke 9:28), the Agony in the Garden of Gethsemani (Matthew 26:37; Mark 14:33).
It is also clear that the position of Peter among the other Apostles and in the Christian community was the basis for the Kingdom of God on earth, that is, the Church of Christ.
Peter returned occasionally to the original Christian Church of Jerusalem, the guidance of which was entrusted to St. James, the relative of Jesus, after the departure of the Prince of the Apostles (A.D. The last mention of St. Peter in the Acts (15:1-29; cf.

It is also objected that Peter would not have put Paul's Epistles on the level with the O.T. and call them by implication "Scripture." But Paul claimed the help of the Holy Spirit in his writings and Peter knew the marks of the Holy Spirit's power.
He holds that II Peter was addressed to the church in Corinth.
In 2Pe 1:15 Peter speaks of his own plan for preserving the knowledge of Jesus when he is gone (possibly by Mark's Gospel).

 Theology WebSite: New Testament Study Helps: Peter's Letters
So strong is the evidence for the use of this epistle in the early church that some scholars have regarded it as proven and maintained that it was considered to canonical as early as this word had a meaning.
Yet one gap remains to be filled: the Muratorian fragment omits reference to both epistles of Peter, and some scholars have supposed that this could only mean that the church of Rome towards the close of the second century did not regard this epistle as canonical.
The key note of the letter is hope and Peter wishes to exhort these Christians to live in accordance with the hope they have received through Christ.

 Bible Survey: 2 Peter
There were pseudonymous works circulating in the early church that claimed to be written by Peter (The Apocalypse of Peter, The Gospel of Peter, The Acts of Peter, The Teaching of Peter, The Letter of Peter to James, The Preaching of Peter) but they were never accepted by the church as authoritative.
The title comes from the name of the author, Peter; it is the second of two letters written by Peter.
2 Peter 1:1 claims authorship for Peter; to reject Peter's authorship would necessitate rejecting the letter as scripture, since it would, with the first two words, be lying.

 Pseudepigrapha
In the apocalyptic literature, as in the New Testament, the premise is that God will intervene on the behalf of his beleaguered people, translating them to God's place after destroying their enemies.
Future expectation plays a lesser role in the Pseudepigrapha than might be expected; although the apocalypses are interested in the future's determination, they more often stress the faithful standing strong while awaiting God's triumph.
In this regard the New Testament shares the same attitude as the Hebrew Bible, the writers taking biblical traditions, exegeting them, and reapplying them in light of their experience of Jesus.

A harmony of the four canonical gospels has also been brought to our knowledge, which was made in the same century, and which, in a considerable district of Eastern Christendom, supplanted these gospels themselves.
A portion of a gospel has been recovered which was read in the latter part of the second century in certain Christian churches and purports to be the work of the Apostle Peter.
The reader of former volumes of The Ante-Nicene Fathers has already become acquainted with a number of uncanonical gospels, of apocalypses, and of early Christian apologies.

 A Mass of the Apocalypse, Peter Dickinson

For me, if we could explain movies in words, then we wouldn't need movies anymore.
Beyond what is essentially very little action in plot terms, the real story unfolds via Coppola's inspired and hallucinatory vision of "war" in the overall sense, if not in literal battle action.
To be honest, I'm not sure I could describe what Apocalypse Now is really "about." I could parlay scenes, dialogue and feelings, or try and intellectually dissect it.
