But Could Peter Write Anything?
Update: 2024-07-16
Description
1 and 2 Peter, other letters allegedly by him, a Gospel, three apocalypses. But Really? Could Peter even write?
Today we take it for granted that an important and influential person can write. Not so for the ancient world. Would a fisherman from rural Galilee have been able to write well enough to compose whole texts?
Elegantly phrased, not in his language? Could he have learned to write in later life? If in fact Peter couldn't write, then who composed the works attributed to him?

1 Peter 5:12 KJV — By Silvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I suppose, I have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God wherein ye stand. Peter had help in writing, it seems. Peter could have learned later in life. Ehrman has stated before that the Apostles didn't use scribes or dict stion, but this verse shows that he is wrong. If you investigate the alleged contradictions he claims, you find he must be dishonest with himself since they have been answere.
