INTRO TO 'REFLECTIONS OF PONTIUS PILATE'

….the disciple Peter buckled at this point. Peter was tough, spontaneous, and took no bullshit from anyone…yet after the crucifixion, when the mob was really pumped up, Peter denied being a follower—three times. His belief became too much of a liability. But, I like Peter because he had flaws just like the rest of us. He was really just a blue-collar, neighborhood leader. He was the Bruce Springsteen of Galilee, a denim-wearing factory worker. He wore a robe with his bowling league embroidered on the back. They don’t mention that in the Bible.
