The student of the Gospels does not have to read very extensively in the biblical text before being confronted in his own mind with the question as to how this text, which was written in the first century, is of any consequence to the twenty-first century reader. To compound the confusion the student only has to turn to the current biblical studies literature to find a myriad of opinions as to how the text has meaning for the modern reader. The scope of these opinions may extend from the position that the disciples are representative of all believers for all ages to the position which holds that the text has importance for the modern reader only when it plainly states the connection between the two sets of readers. Using selected events in Peter's life as narrated by Mark as a template, this study will attempt to determine if there are objective principles whereby the student of Scripture can better understand how the biblical text impacts his life.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a The student of the Gospels does not have to read very extensively in the biblical text before being confronted in his own mind with the question as to how this text, which was written in the first century, is of any consequence to the twenty-first century reader. To compound the confusion the student only has to turn to the current biblical studies literature to find a myriad of opinions as to how the text has meaning for the modern reader. The scope of these opinions may extend from the position that the disciples are representative of all believers for all ages to the position which holds that the text has importance for the modern reader only when it plainly states the connection between the two sets of readers. Using selected events in Peter's life as narrated by Mark as a template, this study will attempt to determine if there are objective principles whereby the student of Scripture can better understand how the biblical text impacts his life.
520 $a Chapter one of this study provides an overview of the current literature in two fields applicable to this study. First, and primarily, an overview of the current literature related to methodologies for determining normativeness in narrative passages is presented. Second, this chapter provides an overview of literature on the life of Peter.
520 $a Grant Osborne sees the biblical text as needing to be viewed from three perspectives. These three perspectives address the historical aspect of the text, the literary aspect of the text, and the aspect of the modern reader seeing himself as part of the original audience. To accomplish these perspectives. Osborne turns to the use of the "implied reader," whereby the reader interacts with the text as if he were a member of the original audience to whom the text was written.
520 $a William Klein presents the position that the disciples are representative of all believers for all times. This author's desire is to present a means whereby past hermeneutical errors will not be repeated.
520 $a William Larkin presents the reader with criteria for determining normativeness. These criteria relate to issues of similar situations, the directive itself, faith, and authorial intent. Larkin is attempting to address questions which deal with cultural elements in the text and how to determine guidelines for application of the text.
520 $a Earl Radmacher and Robert Preus provide the reader with an interesting and informative presentation. They enlist the assistance of Robertson McQuilkin and Alan Johnson who undertake a discussion of fourteen questions which are generally used by a broad spectrum of theologians for the purpose of determining normativeness. McQuilkin will present the question and his perspective on its validity as a means of determining normativeness. Johnson will then interact with McQuilkin's views on the method, presenting his case for agreement or disagreement. The fourteen questions are as follows. (1) How is God at work today? (2) What response does God desire? (3) Does this biblical teaching reflect a universal cultural norm? (4) What is the normative principle behind this specific Bible teaching? (5) Is this teaching of Scripture based on the nature of God or the order of creation? (6) Is this behavior commanded or forbidden in Scripture? (7) Is the Old Testament teaching repeated in the New? (8) Does the context limit the recipient or application? (9) Does subsequent revelation limit the recipient or the application? (10) Is this teaching in conflict with other biblical teaching? (11) Is the reason for a norm given in Scripture and is that reason treated as a norm? (12) Is the specific teaching normative as well as the principle behind it? (13) Does the Bible treat the historic context as normative? (14) Does the Bible treat the cultural context as limited?
520 $a This presentation reveals how broad the chasm of opinions really is when the discussion of normativeness is addressed. Johnson also presents some additional issues which he sees as needing to be addressed in the conversation---a proper controlling thesis, revelation and language, doctrine of creation in relation to hermeneutics, and McQuilkin's view of the plain meaning of the text.
520 $a Andreas Kostenberger presents the methodology which was most appealing in this discussion. His methodology was based on the use of the term maqhthv &d12; (disciple) as used in John's Gospel. The appeal of the methodology is its commitment to examine the biblical text for what it alone has to say. The original author is the one who provides insight as to the connectedness between the original recipients and the modern reader.
520 $a As to the literature on the life of Peter, it is not as extensive as one would expect, based on his role in the New Testament. Timothy Wiarda provides two very informative works. The first is a work which focuses on the presentation of Peter across the span of all four gospels. Wiarda sees a pattern emerge as Peter is portrayed multiple times in each Gospel. His research is developed along two lines: (1) a historical enquiry as to why Peter is referenced so many times in all the Gospels; and (2) how would a developed pattern impact the reading of the Gospels pastorally or theologically? Wiarda's second work is an informative article which focuses exclusively on Peter in the Gospel of Mark. Wiarda's objective is to look at Peter in Mark more from an individualized viewpoint rather than viewing Peter as a representative of all the disciples.
520 $a Michael Grant and F. Lapham have produced works whose basic operating presupposition is rationalism. Lapham provides a great deal of interaction with non-canonical sources. There are a number of works on the life of Peter which deny the historicity of Peter, and a number of works argue against Cephas and Peter being the same person.
520 $a Chrys Caragounis presents a work which focuses on Matthew 16:18 and the interchange of the terms pe&d12;tr a and pe&d12;tr ov . His approach is first philological---examining Greek, Aramaic, and Syriac; and secondly exegetical---studying Matthew 16:17--19. Chilton and Evans add to the discussion with their second work focusing on James, the brother of Jesus. This volume examines the relationship of James with Peter and Paul.
520 $a Chapter two of this work was the most instructive. It must be confessed that this study was entered into with the assumption that, because of the wide involvement of Peter in the Gospel of Mark, at least a number of normative guidelines could be drawn from his actions or responses. The opposite actually proved to be the case. This chapter is an examination of a number of passages in Mark in which Peter is a participant. The passages examined are as follows. (1) Mark 1:16--20 - The call of Peter, Andrew, James, and John; (2) Mark 3:13--16 - The summoning of the Twelve; (3) Mark 6:7--13 - The sending out of the Twelve; (4) Mark 8:27--33 - Peter's confession of the Christ; (5) Mark 10:28--31 - The cost of discipleship; (6) Mark 10:41--45 - Jesus models servant leadership; (7) Mark 11:20--26 - Jesus teaches on faith and prayer; (8) Mark 14:32--42 - The Garden of Gethsemane.
520 $a Chapter three is the application of the fourteen questions McQuilkin and Johnson discussed in chapter one to the passages examined in chapter two. Of the fourteen methods, three of them provided guidance which would result in the particular passage as having normative import, but none of them based on the actions of Peter. There is also a presentation by Henry Virkler in which he attempts to provide some objective guidelines for making application of passages which may not be normative but which are "profitable," as all of Scripture is. Chapter four of this work is a presentation of the conclusion which might be drawn based on the examination of Peter's life as narrated by Mark.
