One of Steve's most popular talks on audio CD. Peter, the Rock, the Keys & the Chair discusses the Jewish background to Peter and the papacy. Steve uses the Bible, history, geography, archaeology and common sense to make it clear that Peter and the papacy were Jesus' plan from the beginning -- and how it is firmly rooted even in the Old Testament.

"Steve takes you on a  journey to the huge rock at Caesarea Philippi where Jesus renamed Simon -- Peter, the Rock!"

"Amazing talk that always makes eyes go wide open. A great defense of the Catholic teaching on the Pope."

I very much enjoyed your talk and learned a lot. I mentioned some of your descriptions of the Rock of Caeserea Philippi in my Ecclesiology class. I also liked the way you brought in John 1:42 to show that the Rock of Mat 16:18 is Peter/Kephas."    ~Bob Fastiggi, Professor of Theology, Sacred Heart Major Seminary
