In studying the debate between Peter and Paul and the resulting primacy on the Latin Church, Otto Zwierlein defends the arguments of Petrus in Rom (Untersuchungen zur antiken Literatur und Geschichte 96; 2009, 2010) and provides additional evidence backing up his claims. The second part of the book contains three studies on the acts of Peter, Paul, and John. The focus lies on the Third Epistle to the Corinthians, which is shown to be part of the apocryphal acts of Paul.
